Momentum

Front

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

Back

mass and velocity

Front

What is the unit for momentum?

Back

kg m/sec

Front

The total momentum before a collision is _________ the total momentum after a collision.

Back

equal to

Front

In any collision (crash) the ______ is ALWAYS constant.

Back

Total Momentum

Front

If an object has a mass of 20 kg and a velocity of 4 m/s, what is the momentum of the object?

Back

80 kgm/s

Front

Define momentum.

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity.

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 because it has both magnitude and direction.

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 relationship between mass and momentum?

Back

Greater mass results in greater momentum if velocity is constant.
