Back
The principle states that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant if no external forces act on it.
2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does doubling the speed of an object affect its momentum?
Back
Doubling the speed of an object doubles its momentum, as momentum is directly proportional to velocity.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What happens to the total momentum in a closed system during an explosion?
Back
The total momentum is conserved, meaning it remains the same before and after the explosion.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If a cannonball is fired from a cannon, what can be said about the momentum of the cannon and cannonball?
Back
The total momentum of the cannon and cannonball system is conserved.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for calculating momentum?
Back
Momentum (p) is calculated using the formula p = mass (m) × velocity (v).
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
In a collision, if one object is much more massive than the other, how does this affect their velocities post-collision?
Back
The more massive object will have a smaller change in velocity compared to the less massive object.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between force, change in momentum, and time?
Back
Force is equal to the change in momentum divided by the time over which the change occurs (F = Δp/Δt).
