Linear momentum is a
vector
quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
What is the relationship between mass and linear momentum?
Directly proportional
What is the relationship between velocity and linear momentum?
Directly proportional
Force applied to an object causes changes in its linear
momentum
.
Linear momentum
has both magnitude and direction.
True
Linear momentum is a scalar quantity.
False
Steps to calculate linear momentum:
1️⃣ Identify the mass of the object
2️⃣ Identify the velocity of the object
3️⃣ Multiply the mass by the velocity
4️⃣ Determine the magnitude and direction of the momentum
How is linear momentum calculated?
Mass multiplied by velocity
The linear momentum of an object is directly proportional to its mass and
velocity
