Momentum Worksheet: True or False?

1. The document is a momentum worksheet that contains 25 multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions about momentum. 2. It covers concepts like how momentum is calculated using mass and velocity, how changing speed or mass affects momentum, and qualitative comparisons of momentum between objects of different masses colliding. 3. The questions are meant to test understanding of momentum, how it is defined mathematically, how it behaves in collisions between objects, and how factors like mass and velocity impact momentum.

__True__1.) Momentum is not equal to the mass of an object divided by its velocity.
__True__2.) The momentum of an object can change.
True 3.) Two objects with the same mass will always have the same momentum.
__False 4.) All moving objects don’t have momentum.
___True__5.) When an object speeds up, it gains momentum.
__True__6.) Objects with different masses can’t have the same momentum.
__False__7.) Direction does not matter when you are measuring momentum.
__True__8.) Momentum can be transferred from one object to another.
__True_9.) When objects collide, some momentum is lost.
_True_10.) A tiny bullet can have more momentum than a huge truck.
Fill in the blank.

11.) A moving car has momentum. If it moves twice as fast, its momentum is doubled as much.

22.) A steel ball whose mass is 2.0 kg is rolling at a rate of 2.8 m/s. What is its momentum?
Looking for Solution
Momentum
2.0 x 2.8m/s = 5.6kg m/s

Given
2.0 kg = mass
2.8m/s = velocity

Relationships
P= M x V

23.) A marble is rolling at a velocity of 1.5 m/s with a momentum of 0.10 kg⋅m/s. What is its mass?
Looking for Solution
Mass
1.5m/s x 0/10kg m/s = 0.15 kg m/s

Given
1.5m/s = velocity
0.10kg m/s = momentum
Relationships

P= MxV

24.) On April 15, 1912, the luxury cruise liner Titanic sank after running into an iceberg. What was the cruise
liner’s speed when it collided with the iceberg if it had a mass of 4.23 x 10 8kg ship and a momentum of 4.9 x
109kg·m/s?
Looking for Solution

25.) Suppose you are traveling in a bus at highway speed on a nice summer day and the momentum of an
unlucky bug is suddenly changed as it splatters onto the front window.
a) Compared to the force that acts on the bug, how much force acts on the bus. (more) (the same) (less)
b) Although the momentum of the bus is very large compared to the momentum of the bug, the change
in momentum of the bus compared to the change in momentum of the bug is (more) (the same)
(less)
c) Which experiences the greater acceleration (HINT: think of Newton’s 2nd Law)?
(bus) (both the same) (bug)
d) Which, therefore, suffers the greater damage? (bus) (both the same) (the bug of course!)
