Answer:
more time to change the momentum of falling rocks
Explanation:
Momentum is related to "mass in motion." So, if an object is moving, then it has momentum as it has its mass in motion. The amount of momentum is dependent upon how much and how fast the object is moving.
If an object is moving slowly, it means that the object is losing momentum.
Nets used to catch falling boulders on the side of rocky hillside roadways are more effective than rigid fences because their breakage is reduced by more time to change the momentum of falling rocks.
