Momentum and Impulse Flashcards
1
Q
-is a quantity that describe an object’s resistance
to stopping
A
Momentum
2
Q
Objects which aren’t moving have no velocity, and
therefore have
A
no momentum
3
Q
if a body is at rest
or moving at a constant speed in a straight
line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a
straight line at constant speed unless it is
acted upon by a force
A
Law of inertia also called Newton’s first law,
4
Q
The motion of inertia
A
Momentum
5
Q
Unit of momentum
A

6
Q
The change in momentum of an object due
to a force that is applied
during a period of time
A
Impulse
7
Q
The time duration in which a
change in momentum is occurring.
A
Impact
8
Q
Rate of change in momentum
A
Force
9
