Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all work for calculations.
1. Which of the following best defines momentum?
The rate of change of velocity.
The product of mass and acceleration.
The product of mass and velocity.
The force applied over a distance.
2. Impulse is equal to the change in an object's:
Kinetic energy
Potential energy
Momentum
Acceleration
3. The principle of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system remains .
4. A collision in which kinetic energy is conserved is called an collision.
5. A 2 kg ball moving at 5 m/s collides with a stationary 3 kg ball. If the balls stick together after the collision, what is their combined velocity?
6. Impulse is a vector quantity.
True
False
7. In an inelastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
True
False
8. Explain the relationship between impulse and momentum. Provide an example where understanding this relationship is crucial.
