Momentum - 2021/2022

Front

What is momentum?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, representing the quantity of motion an object has.

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)

Front

Is momentum a scalar or vector quantity?

Back

Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

Front

What factors affect the momentum of an object?

Back

The momentum of an object depends on its mass and velocity.

Front

If an object's mass doubles, what happens to its momentum if velocity remains constant?

Back

The momentum will also double.

Front

If an object's velocity doubles, what happens to its momentum if mass remains constant?

Back

The momentum will also double.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and momentum?

Back

Mass is directly proportional to momentum; as mass increases, momentum increases if velocity is constant.

Front

What is the relationship between velocity and momentum?

Back

Velocity is directly proportional to momentum; as velocity increases, momentum increases if mass is constant.

Front

What happens to the momentum of an object at rest?

Back

An object at rest has zero momentum.

Front

How does the momentum of a moving object change if it comes to a stop?

Back

The momentum of a moving object becomes zero when it comes to a stop.
