1. Which of the following best defines momentum?
The rate at which an object changes its position.
The product of an object's mass and velocity.
The force that opposes motion between two surfaces.
The energy an object possesses due to its motion.
2. In an elastic collision, which of the following is conserved?
Kinetic energy only
Momentum only
Both kinetic energy and momentum
Neither kinetic energy nor momentum
3. The principle of conservation of momentum states that in a closed and isolated system, the total momentum remains .
4. Impulse is defined as the change in of an object.
5. A 2 kg ball is moving at 5 m/s. Calculate its momentum.
6. Explain the difference between an elastic and an inelastic collision.
7. Impulse is equal to the force applied multiplied by the time interval over which the force acts.
True
False
8. In an inelastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved.
True
False
9. A 0.15 kg baseball is thrown with a velocity of 40 m/s. It is then hit by a bat, reversing its direction and increasing its speed to 60 m/s. What is the impulse imparted to the baseball by the bat?
