Velocity, Momentum, and Acceleration

Momentum

Multiple Choice

Momentum is...

• rolling down a hill.

• the amount of motion an object has.

• the force that an object has.

• the speed of an object.

Multiple Choice

The equation for momentum is?

• momentum = force - mass

• momentum = acceleration / mass

• momentum = mass x acceleration

• momentum = mass x velocity

Multiple Choice

Like velocity, acceleration, and force, momentum is described by its direction as well as its quantity. This Means it is a _______

• scalar quantity

• vector quantity

Multiple Choice

What is true about the relationship between mass and momentum.

• The less mass an object has, the more momentum it will have.

• The more mass an object has, the less momentum it will have.

• The more mass an object has, the more momentum it will have.

• Mass has nothing to do with momentum.

Multiple Choice

• velocity

• displacement

• weight
