Linear Momentum and Newton's Second Law Quiz

Speed is the rate of change of distance moved with time. Its units are meters per second (m/s).

Kinematics is the type of mechanics that considers motion without the cause of displacement, while dynamics takes into account the cause of displacement.

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by total time taken, while instantaneous speed is the speed at a specific instant in time.

Momentum is conserved in a collision when the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.

Newton's First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.

Newton's Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

An Inertial Frame of Reference is a frame in which Newton's laws of motion are valid and applicable without acceleration.

Impressed Force is an external force acting on a body that causes a change in its motion.

Linear Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity. It is a vector quantity.

Inertia is the resistance of an object to any change in its state of motion. It is related to Newton's First Law, which describes this property of objects.
