Momentum and Impulse

A biker with a mass of 75 kg moves along the path with a constant velocity of 5 m/s. What is the biker's momentum?

• 25 m/s
• 375 m/s
• 25 kg m/s
• 375 kg m/s

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

• bowling ball because it has more momentum
• ping pong ball because it has more momentum
• both require the same amount of force when catching
• bowling ball because it has less momentum

A runner has a momentum of 670 kg m/s and is traveling at a velocity of 9 m/s. What is his mass?

• 6030 kg
• 0.0134 kg
• 74.4 kg
• 80 kg

A 5 N force is applied to a 3 kg ball to slow it down from 9 m/s to 3 m/s. What is the impulse on the ball?

• -2.5 N⋅s

• -10 N⋅s

• -18 N⋅s

• -45 N⋅s

An object with a mass of 2000 kg at rest has what momentum?

• 2000 kg m/sec
• 0 kg m/sec
• 2000 kg
• 2000 m/sec

When the speed of an object is doubled, its momentum

• remains unchanged in accord with the conservation of momentum.
• doubles
• quadruples
• decreases

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

How can a tennis ball and a bowling ball have the same momentum?

• have the same speed
• have different speeds
• one is moving backwards
• they can't

A 50 kg ball rolls down the street at 5 m/s. Calculate the momentum of the ball. 

• 55 kg*m/s
• 100 kg*m/s
• 250 kg*m/s
• 500 kg*m/s

Softer landings tend to

• increase impact force
• increase force
• increase collision time
• increase change in momentum
