Impulse Momentum Theorem

The Impulse - Momentum Theorem

Multiple Choice

The equation to calculate momentum is

• p=mv
• p=1/2mv²
• p=mgh
• p=mg

Multiple Choice

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

• size and shape
• mass and speed
• mass and veloctiy
• mass and energy

Multiple Choice

Remember p = mv.

Which has more momentum: a car stopped at a red light or a bike moving at 15 mph?

• car

• bike

• they are equal

• cannot determine using the info provided

Multiple Choice

Remember p = mv. Determine the momentum of 1000-kg car moving southward at 20 m/s.........

• 20000 N

• 20000 Joules

• 20000 Kg * m/s south

• 10000 kg * m/s south

Multiple Choice

The impulse is ______ the change in momentum

• Greater than

• Equal to

• less than

• always double

Multiple Choice

Remember impulse = F T.

A boy kicks a football with a force of 20 N, the time the force acts for is 0.3 s.

Calculate the impulse on the ball.

• 1 N*s

• 6 N*s

• 33.3 N*s

• None of these

The answer to all of them is that by increasing time, you decrease force.

Multiple Choice

Remember p = mv. Determine the momentum of 1000-kg car moving northward at 20 m/s.........

• 20000 N

• 20000 Joules

• 20000 Kg * m/s

• 20000 kg * m/s north

Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice

Remember p = mv. When the speed of an object is doubled, its momentum

• remains unchanged in accord with the conservation of momentum.

• doubles

• quadruples

• decreases
