Front

Momentum is a ____________________ quantity

Back

vector

Front

In any collision (crash) the ______ is ALWAYS constant

Back

Total Momentum

Front

The momentum of an object depends upon the object's ___________&_____________.

Back

mass and velocity

Front

If two objects have the same mass, then the faster moving object has ____________ momentum.

Back

more

Front

The equation to calculate momentum is

Back

p=mxv

Front

What is the unit of momentum in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

kilogram meter per second (kg·m/s)

Front

What does the term 'conservation of momentum' mean?

Back

In a closed system, the total momentum before and after a collision remains constant.

Front

How does increasing the mass of an object affect its momentum if speed remains constant?

Back

Momentum increases because momentum is directly proportional to mass.

Front

What happens to the momentum of an object if its velocity doubles?

Back

The momentum doubles, since momentum is directly proportional to velocity.

Front

In a perfectly elastic collision, what happens to the total kinetic energy?

Back

It remains constant.
