FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is momentum?
Back
Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, represented by the formula p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between mass and velocity when momentum is constant?
Back
The relationship is inverse; if mass increases, velocity must decrease to keep momentum constant.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are the two main types of collisions?
Back
The two main types of collisions are elastic collisions, where kinetic energy is conserved, and inelastic collisions, where kinetic energy is not conserved.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
In a perfectly elastic collision, what happens to the total kinetic energy?
Back
The total kinetic energy before and after the collision remains the same.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to the velocity of a billiard ball in a perfectly elastic collision with an identical stationary ball?
Back
The moving billiard ball comes to rest, and the stationary ball moves with the initial velocity of the first ball.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you calculate momentum?
Back
Momentum (p) is calculated using the formula p = mv, where m is mass and v is velocity.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If two objects have the same mass, which object has more momentum?
Back
