a. The force acting on an object
b. The mass of an object
c. The velocity of an object
d. The product of an object’s mass and velocity
2. Which of the following equations correctly
represents the relationship between momentum,
mass, and velocity?
a. p = mv
b. p = m+v
c. p = m/v
d. p = m-v
3. What is the SI unit of momentum?
a. Kilograms (kg)
b. Joules (J)
c. Kilograms •meters /second (kg•m/s)
d. Newtons (N)
4. A car with a mass of 1200 kg is traveling at a
velocity of 20 m/s. What is its momentum?
a. 240 N
b. 2400 kg/s
c. 24000 kg•m/s
d. 24000 N
5. A force of 50 N is applied to an object for 4
seconds. What is the impulse exerted on the object?
a. 12 N•s
b. 200 N•s
c. 50 N•s
d. 2000 N•s
6 -10. Problem: A soccer ball with a mass of 0.4
kilograms is initially at rest. Sarah kicks the ball,
giving it a velocity of 10 meters per second in the
forward direction. The kick lasts for 0.1 seconds
a. Calculate the momentum of the ball before the
kick.
b. Determine the change in momentum
experienced by the ball.
