Momentum Practice - ICP

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

• m=mv
• p=m/v
• p=v/m
• p=vm

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

If two objects collide and stick together, what will happen to their overall momentum?

• momentum will decrease
• momentum will increase
• momentum will stay the same
• none of the above

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

The momentum of a truck traveling in a straight line at 25 m/s is 37,500 kg m/s. What is the truck's mass? 

• 937,500 kg
• 937,500 N
• 1,500 N
• 1,500 kg

How much momentum does a 50 kg mass moving at 10 m/s have?

• 5 kg m/s
• 500 kg m/s
• 5 N
• 500 N

How much momentum does a stationary battle ship have if it has a mass of 2,575,000 kg?

• 2,575,000 N
• 2,575,000 kg m/s
• 0 Momentum requires mass and velocity
• none of the above

The units for momentum are

• kg
• m/s
• kg-m/s
• kg/m/s

The law of conservation of momentum states that, 

• p before is less than p after
• p before is the same as p after
• p before is more than p after

A 0.250 kg cart moving at 0.400 m/s has how much momentum?

• 0.1 kg-m/s
• 1 kg-m/s
• 10 kg-m/s
• 100 kg-m/s
