A measure of an objects motion and how likely the object will stay in motion
What is momentum?
an 18,000kg transport truck is travelling east at 80km/h. Calculate the momentum of the truck.
p = 400,000kg*m/s
What is the formula for momentum?
momentum = mass x velocity
This law states total momentum before and after a collision remains the same in a closed system
A change in momentum is called this.
A push or pull on an object
What is a force?
A soccer player kicks a ball with a force of 60kg*m/s2 for 3 seconds. The impulse on the ball is this.
Impulse = 180 kg*m/s
What is the formula for impulse?
Impulse = force x time
If the total momentum before the collision is 1234kg*m/s, what is the total momentum after the collision?
1234kg*m/s
Two identical cars collide at the same velocity. Car 1 has its mass doubled and collides again. What happens to Car 1's momentum in the second trial compared to the first?
Car 1's momentum is doubled
Brakes work by using __________
What is friction?
Before the collision, Car 1 has a mass of 12kg and a velocity of 24m/s, and car 2 has a mass of 15kg and a velocity of 3m/s. What is their total momentum before they collide?
p = 333kg*m/s
What is the formula for force?
mass x change in velocity
_____________________
time
If two identical carts moving toward each other at equal speeds collide, the total momentum of the system is this
What is zero?
What is Ms. MacKenzie's favourite color?
Green!
The combination of size of the size of the force and time during which the force acts is called _________
What is impulse?
If a 1200 car increases its velocity by 20km/h, what is its momentum?
p = 24000kg*km/h
What is the formula for conservation of momentum?
total momentum before = total momentum after
If the stopping time of a collision increases but impulse stays the same, the force will do this.
What is decrease?
What direction will the objects move after the collision?
To the right (+)
A truck moving slowly can still have large momentum because it has a very large ________
What is mass?
A 2kg ball speeds up from 3 m/s to 9m/s in 3 seconds. The force applied to the ball is this.
Force = 4kg*m/s2
Force is written using these units
What is kg x m/s2?
Catching a baseball by moving your glove backward reduces injury because it increases this.
What is stopping time?
A test vehicle originally has mass m and speed v. In a second test, its mass doubles and its velocity doubles. How does the vehicle's momentum change?
It quadruples or is four times greater.
