Momentum

Front

What is momentum?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, represented by the formula p = m x v.

Front

What is the unit of momentum?

Back

The unit of momentum is kg x m/s.

Front

Which factors affect momentum?

Back

Momentum depends on an object's mass and velocity.

Front

If an object has a mass of 60 kg and a velocity of 0.67 m/s, what is its momentum?

Back

p = m x v = 60 kg x 0.67 m/s = 40.2 kg x m/s.

Front

What is the formula to calculate momentum?

Back

The formula to calculate momentum is p = m x v.

Front

How does increasing mass affect momentum?

Back

Increasing the mass of an object increases its momentum if velocity remains constant.

Front

How does increasing velocity affect momentum?

Back

Increasing the velocity of an object increases its momentum if mass remains constant.

Front

What is the relationship between momentum and velocity?

Back

Momentum is directly proportional to velocity; as velocity increases, momentum increases.

Front

What is the unit for velocity?

Back

The unit for velocity is m/s.

Front

If two objects have the same mass but different velocities, which has more momentum?

Back

The object with the higher velocity has more momentum.
