Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. Yes, it would hurt because the bricks would still have the same mass

Explanation:

Given that the expression "like a ton of brick" refers to the tendency of an object being crushed by another object, which is due to the impact of the force, and from Newton's law a force is proportional to the rate of change of momentum produced, therefor if the brick of the same mass is given the same velocity as it had on the Earth while the person remains stationary, it will hurt if the brick hits the person.
