Momentum + Impulse

Front

What is momentum?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, represented by the equation: Momentum = Mass x Velocity.

Front

What is impulse?

Back

Impulse is the change in momentum of an object when a force is applied over a period of time, calculated as Impulse = Force x Time.

Front

How does applying an impulse affect an object's momentum?

Back

Applying an impulse to an object will always result in a change in momentum.

Front

What is the relationship between impulse and momentum?

Back

Impulse is equal to the change in momentum of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Back

The formula for calculating momentum is: Momentum = Mass x Velocity.

Front

If a 2 kg object is moving at 3 m/s, what is its momentum?

Back

The momentum is 6 kg m/s (2 kg x 3 m/s).

Front

What happens to the momentum of an object if its mass increases while its velocity remains constant?

Back

The momentum of the object will increase.

Front

What is the unit of momentum?

Back

The unit of momentum is kilogram meter per second (kg m/s).

Front

If a 1 kg ball is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s, what is its momentum?

Back

The momentum is 10 kg m/s (1 kg x 10 m/s).

Front

What is the effect of a net force acting on an object over time?

Back

A net force acting on an object over time will change its momentum.
