Momentum

Front

If the velocity of an object doubles, what happens to its momentum?

Back

The momentum doubles.

Front

What does 'p' represent in the momentum formula?

Back

Momentum.

Front

If a small car and a large truck are traveling at the same velocity, which has more momentum?

Back

The large truck.

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for momentum?

Back

kg•m/s.

Front

How does mass affect momentum if velocity remains constant?

Back

Momentum increases with an increase in mass.

Front

What is the relationship between momentum and velocity?

Back

Momentum is directly proportional to velocity.

Front

Can momentum be negative? If so, under what conditions?

Back

Yes, momentum can be negative if the object is moving in the opposite direction of the defined positive direction.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of momentum?

Back

In a closed system, the total momentum before an event is equal to the total momentum after the event.

Front

How do you calculate the momentum of an object with a mass of 10 kg moving at a velocity of 5 m/s?

Back

Momentum = mass × velocity = 10 kg × 5 m/s = 50 kg•m/s.
