Lesson Worksheet: Linear Momentum Mathematics
In this worksheet, we will practice calculating the momentum of a particle moving in a straight line using the formula 𝐻 = 𝑚𝑣.
Q1:
Determine the momentum of a car of mass 2.1 metric tons moving at 42 km/h.
Q2:
Complete the following: The unit of linear momentum is .
- Akgβ km/s2
- Bkgβ m/s2
- Ckg
- Dkgβ m/s
- Ekg/m/s
Q3:
A gun fires 97 bullets per minute. The mass of each bullet is 10 g, and the muzzle speed of the gun is 180 m/s where the muzzle speed is the exit speed of the bullet from the barrel of the gun. Find the momentum transferred to the bullets per second.
Q4:
A car of mass 1,350 kg moves in a straight line such that at time seconds, its displacement from a fixed point on the line is given by . Find the magnitude of the carβs momentum at .

Q6:
Calculate the momentum of a stone of mass 520 g after it has fallen 8.1 m vertically downward. Consider the acceleration due to gravity to be .
Q7:
A body of mass 17 kg moves in a straight line with constant acceleration of 1.8 m/s2. Its initial velocity is 22.3 m/s. Find the increase in its momentum in the first 5 seconds.
Q8:
A rubber ball of mass 41 g was moving horizontally along a smooth surface. It struck a barrier at 62 cm/s and rebounded in the opposite direction at 45 cm/s. Find the magnitude of the change in its momentum as a result of the impact.
Q9:
