Momentum and Impulse Quiz

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

The product of an object's mass and its velocity, representing its inertia in motion.

A measure of the change in momentum of an object, caused by a force acting over a time interval.

The principle that states the total momentum of a closed system remains constant in the absence of external forces.

A force acting over a time interval, resulting in a change in momentum.

A change in an object's velocity over time. How fast its velocity changes.

The resistance of an object to changes in its motion. The amount of matter in an object. The quantity of matter in an object.

The speed and direction of an object in motion.

The formula for calculating momentum is: p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

The greater the mass or velocity of an object, the greater its momentum.

Momentum is expressed in units of kilogram-meters per second (kg⋅m/s).

An object at rest cannot have momentum because its velocity is zero.

Even objects with vastly different masses can have the same momentum if their velocities are adjusted accordingly.

The 'oomph' or momentum of an object depends on its mass and velocity.

Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

Momentum is a measure of an object's motion, taking into account both its mass and velocity.

The two factors that affect momentum are mass and velocity. A larger mass or a higher velocity will both result in a greater momentum.

The formula for momentum is p = mv, where 'p' represents momentum, 'm' represents mass, and 'v' represents velocity.

Momentum is typically expressed in units of kilogram meters per second (kg*m/s).

Impulse is defined as the product of force and the time over which it acts. It's a measure of how much a force changes an object's momentum over a period of time.

Impulse is expressed in units of newton-seconds (N.s).

The impulse-momentum theorem states that the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse applied to it. This theorem is often expressed as I = ∆p, where 'I' is impulse and '∆p' is the change in momentum.

The impulse-momentum theorem can be expressed using the equation Ft = m ∆v, where 'F' is force, 't' is time, 'm' is mass, and '∆v' is the change in velocity. It emphasizes how forces changing velocity over time impact momentum.

A push or a pull that can cause a change in an object's motion.

The force that acts on an object to change its momentum.

Increasing impulse increases the change in momentum.
