Front

What is the equation for Momentum?

Back

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

Front

What is the equation for impulse?

Back

Impulse = Force * Time

What is the net force acting on an object if it is 100N to the right?

Back

100N to the Right

Front

Define Momentum.

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of Momentum?

Back

kg·m/s (kilogram meter per second)

Front

What is Impulse?

Back

Impulse is the change in momentum of an object when a force is applied over time.

Front

What is the relationship between Force, Mass, and Acceleration?

Back

Force = Mass * Acceleration (Newton's Second Law)

Front

How does increasing mass affect momentum?

Back

Increasing mass increases momentum if velocity remains constant.
