Review - Momentum, Collision and Impulse

The momentum of an object depends upon the object's ___________&_____________.  

• size and shape
• mass and speed
• mass and veloctiy
• mass and energy

The equation to calculate momentum is

• p=mv
• p=1/2mv²
• p=mgh
• p=mg

Which has more momentum: a car stopped at a red light or a bike moving at 15 mph?

• car
• bike
• they are equal
• cannot determine using the info provided

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.

• 6 N*s
• 33.3 N*s 
• None of these

The impulse is ______ the change in momentum

• Greater than

When two objects collide, the P_before is ____________ the P_after.

• more than 
• less than 
• equal to
• unrelated to

When the speed of an object is doubled, its momentum

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

Which object listed below has the greatest momentum?

• A 0.05 kg object rolling at 0.2 m/s.
• A 0.15 kg object rolling at 2 m/s.
• A 0.15 kg object rolling at 1 m/s
• A 0.4 kg object rolling at 2 m/s.

Jorge noticed a collision outside the coffee shop where two cars collided and stuck together.  What type of collision did he observe?

• Elastic
• Inelastic
• Completely inelastic
• none

A large moving ball collides with a small stationary ball. The momentum

• of the large ball decreases, and the momentum of the small ball increases.

• of the small ball decreases, and the momentum of the large ball increases.

• of the large ball decreases, and the momentum of the small ball decreases.

• does not change for either ball.
