Momentum - Conservation Exit Ticket #2

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.

Front

What is the principle of conservation of momentum?

Back

The principle of conservation of momentum states that in a closed system, the total momentum before an event (like a collision) is equal to the total momentum after the event.

Front

What is a perfectly elastic collision?

Back

A perfectly elastic collision is a type of collision where both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.

Front

What is a perfectly inelastic collision?

Back

A perfectly inelastic collision is a type of collision where momentum is conserved, but the objects stick together after the collision, resulting in a loss of kinetic energy.

Front

What happens to momentum in an inelastic collision?

Back

In an inelastic collision, momentum is conserved, but kinetic energy is not conserved.

Front

How does mass affect momentum?

Back

Momentum is directly proportional to mass; as mass increases, momentum increases if velocity remains constant.

Front

How does velocity affect momentum?

Back

Momentum is directly proportional to velocity; as velocity increases, momentum increases if mass remains constant.

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

The formula for calculating momentum is p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

Front

If two objects collide and stick together, what type of collision is it?

Back

It is a perfectly inelastic collision.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and velocity in a collision?

Back

In a collision, if two objects have the same mass, the object with the greater velocity will have more momentum.
