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
How is momentum conserved in a closed system?
Back
In a closed system, the total momentum before an event (like a collision) is equal to the total momentum after the event, assuming no external forces act on the system.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to momentum when the speed of an object is doubled?
Back
When the speed of an object is doubled, its momentum also doubles, since momentum is directly proportional to velocity.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If a 0.15 kg mass is moving at +26 m/s, what is its momentum?
Back
The momentum is p = mv = 0.15 kg * 26 m/s = 3.9 kg*m/s.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between mass and momentum?
Back
Momentum is directly proportional to mass; if mass increases while velocity remains constant, momentum increases.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How can two objects have the same momentum?
Back
Two objects can have the same momentum if they have different masses and velocities that compensate for each other, such as a lighter object moving faster.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for calculating momentum?
Back
The formula for momentum is p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.
