Q

example of force= rate of change of momentum

A

airbag (able to minimize the effect of the force of an object involved in a collision. They accomplish this by extending the time required to stop the momentum of the driver and passenger)

17
Q

momentum’s direction is significant, therefore it is

A

a vector quantity

18
Q

for motion along a straight line

A

positive values are assigned to one direction and negative values are assigned to the opposite direction

19
Q

remember, if v or m doubles/ triples,

A

p doubles/triples

20
Q

if both v &m double

A

p quadruple
