MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE

Directions: Read the two statements. On the space provided, write the following letters:
A if statement A and B are both true;
B if statement A and B are both false;
C - if statement A is true but statement B if false; and
D if statement A is false but statement B is true
______1.

A. Momentum is a vector quantity.

B. The standard unit on momentum is the Joule.

______2.

A. An object with mass will have momentum.

B. An object which is moving at a constant speed has momentum.

______3.

A. The momentum of an object varies directly with the speed of the object.
B. Two objects of different mass are moving at the same speed; the more massive
object will have the greatest momentum.

______4.

A. Momentum is a form of energy.

B. If an object has momentum, then it must also have mechanical energy.

______5.

A. Impulse is a force.
B. Impulse is a vector quantity.

______6.

A. Newton is the unit for impulse.

B. The kgm/s is equivalent to the units on impulse.
A. Objects involved in collisions encounter impulses.
B. In a collision, the net impulse experienced by an object is equal to its
momentum change.

______7.

______8.

A. Two colliding objects will exert equal forces upon each other even if their mass
is significantly different.
B. The velocity change of two respective objects involved in a collision will
always be equal.

______9.

A. A moving object collides with a stationary object; the stationary object has
significantly less mass. The stationary object encounters the greater collision
force.
B. A moving object collides with a stationary object; the stationary object has
significantly less mass. The stationary object encounters the greater momentum
change.

______10.

A. Most collisions tend to be partially to completely elastic.

B. Momentum is conserved in an elastic collision but not in an inelastic collision.

______11.

A. The total momentum before and after the collision remain the same.
B. Whatever the nature of the bodies, the law of conservation of linear momentum
holds.

______12.

A. When two bodies have equal momentum, they possess equal kinetic energy.
B. Kinetic energy and momentum depend only on the same two quantities, mass
and velocity.

______13.

A. Work is a form of energy.

B. Units of work would be equivalent to a Newton times a meter.

______14.

A. Kinetic energy is the form of mechanical energy which depends upon the
position of an object.
B. If an object is at rest, then it does not have any kinetic energy.

______15.

A. Kinetic energy is a scalar quantity.

B. An object can never have a negative kinetic energy.
