Front

What is momentum?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, representing the quantity of motion an object has.

Front

What factors affect momentum?

Back

Momentum is affected by both the mass of the object and its velocity. More mass or higher velocity results in greater momentum.

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

The formula for momentum (p) is p = mass (m) × velocity (v).

Front

How does mass affect momentum?

Back

An object with greater mass will have greater momentum if moving at the same velocity as a lighter object.

Front

What is the relationship between velocity and momentum?

Back

Momentum is directly proportional to velocity; as velocity increases, momentum increases.

Front

What does it mean for momentum to have direction?

Back

Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, indicating the direction of the object's motion.

Front

What is a distance-time graph?

Back

A distance-time graph shows how the distance traveled by an object changes over time, with time on the horizontal axis and distance on the vertical axis.

Front

What does a horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A horizontal line indicates that the object is at rest, as there is no change in distance over time.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph represent?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed, as the distance changes rapidly with time.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction, making it a vector quantity.
