Front

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

Back

mass and velocity

Front

How much kinetic energy does a moving 6 kg object have if it moves with a velocity of 3 m/s?

Back

27 J

Front

The equation to calculate momentum is __________.

Back

p = mv

Front

Which has a greater impact on kinetic energy (KE)?

Back

velocity

Front

A 0.250 kg cart moving at 0.400 m/s has how much momentum?

Back

0.1 kg-m/s

Front

Define momentum.

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

KE = 1/2 mv²

Front

If the mass of an object doubles, what happens to its momentum if velocity remains constant?

Back

Momentum also doubles.

Front

What is the unit of momentum?

Back

kg-m/s

Front

How does increasing velocity affect kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with the square of the velocity.
