Momentum Change in Momentum Impulse

Momentum and Impulse

Momentum

-it is the product of the mass and velocity of an object.

-it is a vector quantity - (it has a magnitude and direction).

Momentum

-All objects have mass. So, if an object is moving, then it has momentum.

Momentum

-when we say momentum, mass is in motion.

Multiple Choice

Which takes more force to catch, a bowling ball or a ping pong ball?

• bowling ball because it has more momentum

• both require the same amount of force when catching

• bowling ball because it has less momentum

Multiple Choice

When the speed of an object is doubled, its momentum

• remains unchanged in accord with the conservation of momentum.

How hard is it to stop a moving object?

To stop an object, we have to apply a force over a period of time.

This is called IMPULSE.

I= ΔP wherein I= Impulse Δ= change

Equation: I=ΔP= FΔt

Unit: N.s

Multiple Choice

The impulse-momentum theorem states that

• the impulse on an object is equal to the change in momentum it causes

• the force on a moving object is equal to the magnitude of the impulse.

• the impulse on an object is greater than the change in momentum it causes

• the impulse on an object is less than the change in momentum it causes
