Questions and Answers

What factors can contribute to an object having a large momentum?

  • Large velocity only
  • Large mass only
  • Small mass and small velocity
  • Both large mass and large velocity (correct)
  • Why can a huge ship moving at a small velocity have a large momentum?

  • Due to its large mass (correct)
  • Due to its small size
  • Due to the force acting on it
  • Due to its small mass
  • What happens to an object's momentum when its mass remains unchanged but its velocity changes?

  • The momentum decreases
  • The momentum fluctuates randomly
  • The momentum increases (correct)
  • The momentum remains constant
  • Why does applying a force briefly to a stalled automobile result in a small change in momentum?
