The speed of the object and the direction of its motion.
Back
40,000 kg m/s
Front
A car has a momentum of 20,000 kg • m/s. What would the car's momentum be if its velocity doubles?
Back
9 kg
Front
A bicycle has a momentum of 36 kg • m/s and a velocity of 4 m/s. What is the mass of the bicycle?
Back
Unit for velocity
Front
Velocity is measured in meters per second (m/s)
Back
Trough
Front
the opposite of a crest, so the minimum or lowest point in a cycle.
Back
Medium
Front
something waves travel through
Back
Amplitude
Front
The maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position.
Back
How does wave speed change?
Front
Only by changing the medium! NOT wavelength or frequency.
Back
6.0 kg m/s
Front
What is the momentum of a 5 kg object that has a velocity of 1.2 m/s?
Back
Y, W, X, Z
Front
The chart shows masses and velocities of four objects. Which lists the objects in order, from least to greatest momentum?
Back
Momentum formula
Front
mass x velocity
Back
Crest
Front
a point on the wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum.
Back
Frequency
Front
the number of waves per second
Back
Z
Front
The chart lists the masses and velocities of four objects. Which object requires the greatest change in momentum in order to stop its motion?
Back
Wavelength
Front
the distance between 2 crests or 2 troughs of a wave, especially points in a sound wave or electromagnetic wave.
Back
Interference (CONSTRUCTIVE, DESTRUCTIVE)
Front
Destructive- pulses of a wave completely cancel each other; it is as if there were no disturbance at all at the instant the two pulses overlap. (opposite of equilibrium)
Constructive- when the resultant wave is larger than the individual displacements. (same side of equilibrium)
Back
Period
Front
the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle. Period Equation= 1 / f (frequency).
