Momentum Flashcards
1
Q
What does a moving object have?
A
Momentum.
2
Q
What is momentum?
A
This is the tendency of the object to keep moving in the same direction.
3
Q
How is momentum calculated?
A
momentum (kg m/s) = mass (kg) × velocity (m/s)
4
Q
What does momentum have?
A
Magnitude - an amount because it depends on the object’s mass.
Direction - because it depends on the velocity of the object.
5
Q
How do you calculate the force involved in changing the momentum of an object?
A
force = change in momentum dived by time taken to change.
