Final answer:
In a collision between two objects that come to rest, both objects experience the same change in momentum since momentum is conserved in an isolated system with no external forces.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a collision, both objects experience the same change in momentum if both come to rest, meaning the correct answer is C. Both experience the same change in momentum. This is because momentum is conserved in an isolated system, as per the law of conservation of momentum. The total initial momentum of the system is equal to the total final momentum. If a bicycle and a truck are the objects in question and they come to rest after the collision, they both have a final momentum of zero. The change in momentum for each object is equal to the magnitude of their initial momentum, which will be equal but opposite in direction, assuming there are no external forces acting on the system.
Consider two air cars of equal mass moving on a frictionless track. If one is moving and the other is initially at rest, after the collision, the total momentum of the two cars will be maintained. Depending on whether the collision is elastic or inelastic, kinetic energy may or may not be conserved, but the momentum will be conserved.Conservation of momentum is a key concept when analyzing any collision scenario.
