  1. What is the equation for momentum?

    Show answer

    momentum = mass × velocity, or p = mv.

  2. What is the SI unit of momentum?

    Show answer

    Kilogram metre per second, kg m/s.

  3. Momentum is a property of ? objects.

    Show answer

    moving

  4. Which symbol represents momentum in equations?

    Show answer

    p

  5. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its ?.

    Show answer

    velocity

  6. 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.

  7. How is velocity calculated from momentum and mass?

    Show answer

    v = p ÷ m (rearranging p = mv).

  8. What is the momentum of a 2 kg object moving at 3 m/s?

    Show answer

    6 kg m/s (p = mv = 2 × 3).
