13 Questions
What factors can contribute to an object having a large momentum?
Both large mass and large velocity
Why can a huge ship moving at a small velocity have a large momentum?
Due to its large mass
What happens to an object's momentum when its mass remains unchanged but its velocity changes?
The momentum increases
Why does applying a force briefly to a stalled automobile result in a small change in momentum?
Due to a brief application of force
What is essential in changing momentum besides force?
Time
What is the relationship between impulse and change of momentum?
Impulse and change of momentum are always linked
How is impulse related to changing momentum over a long time?
Impulse is the cause of a large change in momentum over a long time
In the equation Ft = change in(mv), what does 'Ft' represent?
Impulse
When considering the impulse-momentum relationship, what is sometimes considered to be the cause of an impulse?
Change of momentum
How does the relationship between impulse and change of momentum relate to forces and motion?
Impulse helps analyze examples where forces act and motion changes
Which term is introduced to represent 'change in' or 'difference in' when expressing all terms in shorthand notation?
Delta symbol A
What does the rearrangement of Newton's second law, F = ma, give when expressed equivalently?
'Force X time interval = change in (mass X velocity)'
What relationship does the text highlight between force acting over a time interval and the resulting effect on momentum?
'Force acting over a time interval equals the change in momentum'
This quiz explores the concept of momentum in physics, highlighting how mass and velocity affect the magnitude of an object's momentum. Examples of different objects with varying masses and velocities are provided to illustrate the relationship between momentum, mass, and velocity.
