Conservation of Momentum and Impulse

Front

What is the equation for momentum?

Back

p = m × v

Front

In terms of momentum change, a trampoline increases __________________, which in turn decreases _____________________.

Back

time / force

Front

If two billiard balls collide, what principle can be used to determine their final velocities?

Back

Conservation of momentum

Front

What is the relationship between mass, velocity, and momentum?

Back

Momentum is directly proportional to both mass and velocity.

Front

Which takes more force to catch, a bowling ball or a ping pong ball, and why?

Back

A bowling ball takes more force because it has more momentum.

Front

What happens to momentum in a closed system during a collision?

Back

Momentum is conserved.

Front

Define impulse in terms of momentum.

Back

Impulse is the change in momentum of an object when a force is applied over time.

Front

What is the formula for impulse?

Back

Impulse = Force × Time = Change in Momentum

Front

How does increasing the time of impact affect the force experienced during a collision?

Back

Increasing the time of impact decreases the force experienced.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of momentum?

Back

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