Impulse and Momentum Quiz

Have you ever experience riding a motorcycle or a car on a muddy road? What do you observe about the speed of the motorcycle/car? Did it slow down or speeds up?

An object which is moving at a constant speed has momentum.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Two objects of different masses are moving at the same speed; the more massive object will have a greater momentum.

• TRUE

• FALSE

A less massive object can never have more momentum than a more massive object.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Two different objects are moving at the same speed. The larger object is more difficult to stop.

• TRUE

• FALSE

An object with varying speed will have varying momentum.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Objects involved in collisions encounter impulses.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Impulse is the force needed to produce a change in the body’s momentum through a combination of changes in its mass and/or velocity.

• TRUE

• FALSE

An object which experiences a net impulse will definitely experience a momentum change.

• TRUE

• FALSE

In a collision, the impulse experienced by an object is not equal to its momentum change.

• TRUE

• FALSE
