Object A Momentum: 50 kg·m/s
Object B Momentum: -15 kg·m/s

📝 Practice Questions

1. A 2 kg object moves at 3 m/s. What is its momentum?

Correct Answer: B. 6 kg·m/s

Momentum is calculated using the formula:

p = mass × velocity
p = 2 kg × 3 m/s = 6 kg·m/s

2. Which of the following increases an object’s momentum?

Correct Answer: A. Increasing its velocity

Momentum is calculated using the formula:

Momentum = mass × velocity

So, increasing the velocity of an object increases its momentum. Decreasing the mass would lower the momentum, and freezing it wouldn't inherently affect its momentum

3. An object has zero velocity. What is its momentum?

4. A 2kg ball initially at rest is kicked and reaches a velocity of 8m/s. What is the change in momentum (impulse)?

5. A 2 kg object moves to the right at 4 m/s. A 3 kg object moves left at 2 m/s. What is the total momentum?

6.A 4 kg cart moving at 3 m/s collides elastically with another 4 kg cart at rest. What are their velocities after the collision?

7.Two carts collide and stick together after the collision. What kind of collision is this?

8.A 2 kg cart moving at 3 m/s hits and sticks to a 1 kg cart at rest. What is their final velocity?
