PHYSICS – MOMENTUM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS WITH SOLUTIONS 2024
Momentum - ANSWER The quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and
velocity.
Impulse - ANSWER A force acting briefly on a body and producing a finite change of momentum.
Vector Quantity - ANSWER Has both magnitude and direction.
The Direction of the Velocity Vector - ANSWER The direction of the force.
Conserved - ANSWER Maintained at a constant overall total.
Impulse-Momentum Theorem - ANSWER The impulse of a force is the product of the average force and
the time interval during which the force acts.
Law of Conservation of Momentum - ANSWER The total linear momentum of a closed system remains
constant through time, regardless of other possible changes within the system.
Collide - ANSWER To be hit with force while in motion.
Collision - ANSWER An instance of one moving object or person striking violently against another.
Rebound - ANSWER A bounce back through the air after hitting a hard surface or object.
Crumple Zones - ANSWER A part of a motor vehicle, especially the extreme front and rear, designed to
crumple easily in a crash and absorb the main force of an impact.
Linear Momentum - ANSWER A vector quantity defined as the product of an object's mass and it's
velocity.
