How Does Momentum Affect Collision Damage?

[KatieLynn]

Homework Statement

What is more important in determining the amount of damage an object sustains in a collision?



A. Total momentum Change

B. Total momentum change per unit time

C. None of these

D. Both of these

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I think it is is B because if the momentum change is over a very long period of time then there wouldn't be as much damage as if the momentum change happened over a short period of time. Do you agree?
