An object of mass 5kg travels in the positive direction with a speed of 1ms1ms. The object collides with a second object that exerts an average net force over an interval of time such that the 5kg object comes to rest. Which of the following best predicts the change in momentum for the 5kg object?

a. The change in momentum is in the negative direction.
b. The change in momentum is in the positive direction.
c. The change in momentum is zero.
d. The direction of the change in momentum cannot be determined without knowing the value of the average force and time in which the force is exerted.
