Does mass change whether you are on Earth or the Moon?

• Yes, it changes

• No, it stays the same

• It depends on the object's size

• It depends on the object's shape

Why is it harder for opponents to push a sumo wrestler out of the ring?

• Because they are faster

• Because they have a higher weight

• Because they are taller

• Because they are more flexible

What type of motion involves movement around an axis?

• Linear Motion

• Angular Motion

• General Motion

• Random Motion

What happens to the momentum of an object if a larger force is applied for a longer time?

• The momentum decreases

• The momentum remains the same

• The momentum increases

• The momentum disappears

What is the relationship between mass and momentum?

• More mass means less momentum.

• More mass means more momentum.

• Mass does not affect momentum.

• Mass and momentum are inversely proportional.

In the sport example, what might cause the lighter player to be pushed backward after a collision?

• The lighter player has more momentum.

• The heavier player has more momentum.

• The lighter player is running faster.

• The heavier player is running slower.

• Player A

• Player B

• Both have the same momentum

• Neither has momentum

What is inertia?

• The resistance of an object to change its state of motion

• The quantity of motion an object has

• The speed of an object

• The force applied to an object

What does momentum depend on?

• The object's mass and its velocity

• The object's shape and size
