100
Which of Newton's Laws does this represent?
Newton's 3rd Law
100
________ is a change in momentum.
impulse
200
The momentum equation shows that momentum is ___________ proportional to an object's mass.
directly
200
Momentum of a 1000-kg car moving northward at 20 m/s.
20 000 kg•m/s, north
200
True/False
For any collision occurring in an isolated system, momentum is conserved.
true
200
Which case has the greatest velocity change?
Case B
The velocity changes from +30 m/s to -28 m/s. This is a change of 58 m/s (-) and is greater than in case A (-15 m/s).
300
True/False
An object's momentum is indirectly proportional to an object's velocity
false
300
A car possesses 20 000 units of momentum. What would be the car's new momentum if the velocity doubled?
40,000 units of momentum
300
A large truck collides with a small bicycle.
Which vehicle experiences the greatest force of impact?
both have the same
300
Which case has the biggest momentum change?
case B,
momentum change depends on velocity change
400
The metric unit for momentum is ____________
kg x m/s
400
A car possesses 20 000 units of momentum. What would be the car's new momentum if its mass was doubled (by adding more passengers),
40,000 units of momentum
400
A large truck collides with a small bicycle.
Which vehicle experiences the largest impulse?
both have the same impulse
400
Which case has the greatest acceleration change?
case A
500
Momentum is a ______________ quantity with both magnitude and direction.
vector
500
A 60 kg quarterback is running at 3 m/s down the field.
A 90 kg halfback is running at 2 m/s down the field.
Which player has the most momentum?
neither, both players have the same momentum.
500
A large truck collides with a small bicycle.
Which vehicle experiences the largest acceleration?
The bicycle
F1=F2
F=ma
Bicycle's mass is smaller so acceleration must be greater
500
Which case has the greatest impulse?
Case A
impulse = momentum change, which depends on velocity change and velocity change is greatest in case A
