Which of these statements is true about the effect of a force exerted upon an object? a. A large force always produces a large change in the object's momentum.
b. A small force always produces a large change in the object's momentum.
c. A small force applied over a long time interval can produce a large change in the object's momentum.
d. A large force produces a large change in the object's momentum only if the force is applied over a very short time interval.

d. A large force produces a large change in the object’s momentum only if the force is applied over a very short time interval.

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Also, the impulse of an object is given by the formula;

In accordance with the impulse-momentum theorem, the statement which is true about the effect of a force exerted upon an object is that a large force produces a large change in the object’s momentum only if the force is applied over a very short time interval.

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
