Momentum

Front

What happens to the momentum of an object when its speed is doubled?

Back

The momentum doubles.

Front

What is always constant in any collision?

Back

Total Momentum.

Front

If a 9 kg blob moving at 5 m/s collides and sticks to a 5 kg blob, what is their combined velocity?

Back

3.2 m/s.

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

Momentum = Mass x Velocity.

Front

What is the definition of momentum?

Back

Mass in Motion.

Front

In a closed system, how does momentum behave during collisions?

Back

Momentum is conserved.

Front

What is the unit of momentum?

Back

Kilogram meter per second (kg·m/s).

Front

If two objects collide and stick together, what type of collision is this?

Back

Inelastic collision.

Front

What is the momentum of a 10 kg object moving at 2 m/s?

Back

20 kg·m/s.

Front

How does mass affect momentum?

Back

Greater mass results in greater momentum if velocity is constant.
