  • 1) If a particle's kinetic energy is zero, what is its momentum?



  • 2) What is the momentum of a 0.148 kg baseball thrown with a velocity of 35 m/s toward home plate?



  • 3) After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.5 kg bowling pin slides to the right at 3.0 m/s and collides head on with another 1.5 bowling pin initially at rest. What is the final velocity of the second pin if the first pin moves to the right 0.5 m/s after the collision?



  • 4) From Question 3, what is the final velocity of the second pin if the first pin stops moving when it hits the second pin?



  • 5) For a given change in momentum, if the net force that is applied to an object increases, what happens to the time interval over which the force is applied?




  • 6) Which equation expresses the Law of Conservation of Momentum?



  • 7) In the Law of Conservation of Momentum states “In the absence of an external force (gravity, friction), the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.” True or False?

  • 8) Is KINETIC ENERGY conserved during the collision we call this an ELASTIC COLLISION, True or False
  • 9) KINETIC ENERGY is conserved during the collision we call this an ELASTIC COLLISION
  • 10) Momentum is defined as “Inertia"
