Will a slow car have more or less momentum compared to a faster car of the same mass?

Will a heavy van have more or less momentum compared to a lighter van moving at the same speed?

As a car speeds up, what happens to its momentum?

What happens to the momentum of a car as the driver applies the brakes?

While driving, a bunch of items fall off the back of your truck. If your speed stays the same, what happens to the momentum of the truck?

Which vehicle has less momentum; a fire truck moving at 30m/s or a Ferrari moving at 30m/s?

What has more momentum; a rocket about to launch or a baseball thrown through the air?

Two friends are riding bikes next to each other and use the brakes to come to a stop. If one friend uses more force on the brakes, what can you say about the time it takes them to stop?

A car is being towed at a velocity of 20 meters/second. If the car has a momentum of 17000 kg∙m/s what is its mass?

A cat with a mass of 5 kilograms has a momentum of 60 kg∙m/s. What is its velocity?

An 11kg ball is dropped. Just before it hits the ground it is traveling down at 3m/s and just after it bounces off the ground it is traveling up at 2m/s.

What is the ball’s initial momentum? (Hint: Use p=m*v with the first half of the problem)

An 11kg ball is dropped. Just before it hits the ground it is traveling down at 3m/s and just after it bounces off the ground it is traveling up at 2m/s.

What is the ball’s final momentum? (Hint: Use p=m*v with the second half of the problem)

An 11kg ball is dropped. Just before it hits the ground it is traveling down at 3m/s and just after it bounces off the ground it is traveling up at 2m/s.

What is the ball’s change in momentum? (Hint: Use final momentum – initial momentum)

A 100kg linebacker running at 9m/s to the left hits a running back at the line of scrimmage. The running back had amass of 80kg and was traveling at 10m/s to the right.

What was the linebacker’s momentum before the collision? (Hint: use p=m∙v for the linebacker’s values)

A 100kg linebacker running at 9m/s to the left hits a running back at the line of scrimmage. The running back had amass of 80kg and was traveling at 10m/s to the right.

What was the running back’s momentum before the collision? (Hint: use p=m∙v for the running back’s values)

A 100kg linebacker running at 9m/s to the left hits a running back at the line of scrimmage. The running back had amass of 80kg and was traveling at 10m/s to the right.

What was the total momentum of the system? (Hint: add the momentums)

A 100kg linebacker running at 9m/s to the left hits a running back at the line of scrimmage. The running back had amass of 80kg and was traveling at 10m/s to the right.

What is the combined mass of the linebacker and running back? (Hint: add the masses)

A 100kg linebacker running at 9m/s to the left hits a running back at the line of scrimmage. The running back had amass of 80kg and was traveling at 10m/s to the right.

What is the velocity of the linebacker and running back after the collision? (Hint: velocity = total momentum ÷ combined mass)
