Momentum & Impulse

Front

What happens to the momentum of an object when its speed is doubled?

Back

The momentum doubles.

Front

How do you calculate the mass of an object if you know its momentum and velocity?

Back

Mass can be calculated using the formula: mass = momentum / velocity.

Front

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

Back

A bowling ball requires more force to catch because it has more momentum.

Front

What is the momentum of a stationary object?

Back

The momentum of a stationary object is 0, as momentum requires both mass and velocity.

Front

What is impulse in relation to momentum?

Back

Impulse is equal to the change in momentum.

Front

Define momentum in physics.

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

The formula for momentum (p) is p = mass (m) × velocity (v).

Front

How does mass affect momentum?

Back

An increase in mass will increase momentum if velocity remains constant.

Front

What is the relationship between impulse and force?

Back

Impulse is equal to the average force applied multiplied by the time duration over which the force is applied.

Front

If an object experiences a change in momentum, what does this imply about the forces acting on it?

Back

It implies that a net force has acted on the object over a period of time.
