Momentum

Front

What is momentum?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, represented by the formula p = m x v.

Front

What is the formula to calculate momentum?

Back

p = m x v, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

Front

If an object has a momentum of 40 kg x m/s and a mass of 60 kg, what is its velocity?

Back

0.67 m/s

Front

A 50 kg ball rolls down the street at 5 m/s. What is its momentum?

Back

250 kg*m/s

Front

What two factors does momentum depend on?

Back

Momentum depends on mass and velocity.

Front

Which has more momentum: a rolling ping-pong ball or a rolling bowling ball at the same speed?

Back

The rolling bowling ball has more momentum.

Front

How does increasing the mass of an object affect its momentum?

Back

Increasing the mass of an object increases its momentum if velocity remains constant.

Front

How does increasing the velocity of an object affect its momentum?

Back

Increasing the velocity of an object increases its momentum if mass remains constant.

Front

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

Back

Momentum is conserved in a closed system during a collision.

Front

What is the unit of momentum?

Back

The unit of momentum is kg*m/s.
