32.2 Velocity and Momentum Flashcards
1
Q
What is the difference between speed and velocity?
A
speed is how fast you go and velocity is the direction you go
2
Q
Is it possible to have a constant speed with a change in velocity?
A
Yes, it is possible
3
Q
How do you calculate momentum?
A
p=mv (p=momentum; m=mass; v=velocity)
4
Q
What are the units for velocity?
A
m/s direction
5
Q
velocity
A
the speed and direction of a moving object
6
Q
momentum
A
property of a moving object that equals its mass times its velocity
