Question
Answer
Inertia in motion is called ______.   Momentum  
🗑
Write the equation for momentum.   p = mass x velocity  
🗑
In the momentum equation, what is the relationship between momentum and velocity?   They are directly related  
🗑
What is acceleration?   A change in velocity  
🗑
Name three ways velocity can change?   speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction  
🗑
What is momentum if there is no change in velocity?   Zero  
🗑
_________causes acceleration.   Force  
🗑
Velocity is speed and direction. True or False.   True  
🗑
A car is going 2 m/s north. Is this speed or velocity? Why?   It is velocity because we have both speed and direction  
🗑
Identify the following measurements as speed, velocity, or momentum: a. 88 km/h b. 10 m/s straight up c. 18 kg m/s down d. 19 m/s west   a. speed b. velocity c. momentum d. velocity  
🗑
Calculate the momentum of a 6.00 kg bowling ball moving at 10.0 m/s down the alley.   p = 6.00 kg x 10.0 m/s = 60 kg m/s down the alley  
🗑
Calculate the momentum of a 75 kg speed skater moving forward at 16 m/s.   p = 75 kg x 16 m/s = 1200 kg m/s moving forward  
🗑
Calculate the momentum of a 1.35 kg ostrich running north at 16.2 m/s.   p = 1.35 kg x 16.2 m/s = 21.9 kg m/s running north  
🗑
Describe the measurements necessary to find the average speed of a moving train.   The distance the train traveled and the time it took to travel that distance must be measured.  
🗑
Explain why knowing the velocity of an airplane is more important to a traveler than knowing only the airplane's speed.   Velocity gives the direction the plane is heading.  
🗑
_______and _______are important in changing momentum.   Force and time  
🗑
What is impulse?   Impulse is force times time  
🗑
What is the unit for impulse?   N/s  
🗑
An impulse always involves two variables. Name them.   Impact force and impact time  
🗑
Why should a golfer swing as hard as possible and follow through the swing?   By doing so, he is creating the greatest force possible for as long as possible which results in a greater impulse and greater momentum.  
🗑
Determine the units of a caterpillar's speed if you measure the distance the caterpillar travels in centimeters and the time it takes to travel this distance in minutes.   cm/minute  
🗑
Describe why your velocity changes when you ride a Ferris wheel even if the wheel turns at a constant speed.   As the Ferris wheel turns, you are moving in a different direction at each instant of time. Since the direction changes, the velocity changes.  
🗑
Describe the motion of a ball in a typical sport. Identify times when the ball moves with a constant velocity and times when its velocity changes.   If a ball moves in a straight line at a constant speed, the velocity is constant. If the ball changes direction or speed, the velocity changes.  
🗑
What is the velocity in meters per second of a sailboat that travels 149 m away from the shore in 16.8 s?   velocity = d / t = 149 m / 16.8 s = 8.87 m/s away from shore  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
