What is the equation for momentum?
Show answer
momentum = mass × velocity, or p = mv.
What is the SI unit of momentum?
Show answer
Kilogram metre per second, kg m/s.
Momentum is a property of ? objects.
Show answer
moving
Which symbol represents momentum in equations?
Show answer
p
Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its ?.
Show answer
velocity
Why does a stationary object have zero momentum?
Show answer
Momentum is p = mv; a stationary object has velocity zero, so its momentum is zero.
How is velocity calculated from momentum and mass?
Show answer
v = p ÷ m (rearranging p = mv).
What is the momentum of a 2 kg object moving at 3 m/s?
Show answer
6 kg m/s (p = mv = 2 × 3).
