What is the equation for momentum?

P=mv

100

What does the law of conservation of momentum state? 

The momentum of a closed system never changes. 

OR

The sum of momenta before and event will equal to the momenta after the event. 

100

A wave length is measured from

crest to crest or trough to trough

OR

one cycle

100

An echo is an example of what wave behavior where waves bounce of boundaries?

What is a reflection? 

100

Which object has more momentum?

A 20 kg ball rolling at 10 m/s

OR a 10 kg ball rolling at 20 m/s

They both have the same momentum.
200

A 5kg bowling is rolling on the floor at 2m/s, what is the momentum?

10 kgm/s

200

A moving object collides with an object at rest. What will happen's to the moving objects speed upon impact? 

It decreases

200

How would you measure the amplitude?


From crest to equilibrium.

200

Refraction is a wave behavior where waves change speed and ___________when they encounter a boundary. 

What is bend. 

(Examples include glasses and lenses) 

200

A firecracker is sitting on the ground at rest. After the fireworks explodes, what is the sum of momenta of all of the pieces flying off. 

What is ZERO?

300

The impulse momentum theorem states that....

the impulse acted on an object is equal to its change in momentum

300

What type of collision occurs when two objects stick together? 

an inelastic collision

300

A wave has a period of 10 seconds. What is its frequency?

What is 1/10 or 0.1 Hz

300

Waves in a pool are shown from above. What wave behavior is evident?


What is diffraction?

300

If it wasn't for this wave behavior, Mr. Benson would not be able to see you today. (Give a reason why)

Students must describe

50 kgm/s

400

A bug smacks into a windshield of a car. Which object experiences a change in momentum? The bug or the Windshield? 

both experience the same change in momentum

400

The length from a to A to G is 15 meters. What is the wavelength of the wave?


10 meters

400

What is a mechanical wave? (What does it carry, how does it propagate?)

A disturbance that carries ENERGY through a physical MEDIUM.

400

Visually demonstrate a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave.

Student must demonstrate.

A 10 kg toy rocket is at rest on the ground. An impulse of 500 Ns is applied to the rocket when it takes off. What is the rocket's final velocity? 

50 m/s

500

An toy car traveling at 8 m/s collides with another car at rest. They both have a mass of 2kg. If the cars stick together on impact, what will be their final velocity? 

4 m/s

500

A water wave has a wavelength of 12 meters and a period of 3 seconds. What is the speed of the wave?

What is 4 m/s meters per second?
