Front

What is the definition of momentum?

Back

Momentum is defined as Mass in Motion.

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

If an object has a mass of 10 kg and is moving at a velocity of 3 m/s, what is its momentum?

Back

The momentum is 30 kg m/s.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and momentum?

Back

Momentum increases with an increase in mass if velocity remains constant.

Front

Can momentum be conserved in a closed system?

Back

Yes, momentum is conserved in a closed system where no external forces act.
