Momentum is a measurement of _____ in motion.

• mass

• gravity

• air

• friction

What is mass?

• how fast an object is moving

• what direction objects move in

• the amount of matter an object has

• the force objects have

Momentum is measured by multiplying an object's mass by

• its velocity

• its gravity

• its air resistance

• its matter

Velocity is

• an object's direction

• an object's color

• an object's weight

• an object's speed

Which will have more momentum if they are both traveling at the same velocity?

• a bus

• a bicycle

• a ball

• a boy

What has to increase in order to increase an object's momentum if the mass stays the same

• friction

• velocity

• gravity

• distance

What creates friction on an object that is falling?

• water

• my voice

• air molecules

• gravity

If two objects are falling, the object with the greatest _______ will have the most air resistance.

• surface area

• momentum

• velocity

• direction

Why does a flat piece of paper have more air resistance than a crumpled up piece of paper?

• the flat piece has more mass

• the balled up piece weighs more

• the flat piece has greater surface area

• the balled up piece has more gravity

There are two cubes on the table. The first one has faces with 2 inch sides. The second one has faces with 5 inch sides. Which cube will have the greater air resistance?

• the first cube

• the second cube
