Momentum
Question
- A. 2 m/s — application focus for momentum
- B. This confuses mass and weight and does not answer Momentum and conservation of momentum (HT only).
- C. This is too vague because it does not use the force or motion quantity named in the objective.
- D. This reverses the physical cause and effect for Momentum.
Answer
The correct answer is: 2 m/s — application focus for momentum
Explanation
The correct option is 2 m/s — application focus for momentum. 2 m/s — application focus for momentum is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to (HT only) Calculate velocity from momentum and mass. This answer belongs to Momentum and conservation of momentum (HT only) within Momentum, so it must use precise AQA GCSE Physics forces and motion vocabulary. The other options are wrong because they either confuse mass and weight, omit the required force or motion condition, or move away from the exact subtopic being tested.
Common mistake
Common Mistake in Velocity Calculation
Students often confuse the formula for calculating velocity from momentum and mass, mistakenly using mass divided by momentum instead of the correct formula.
Remember that velocity is calculated using the formula velocity = momentum / mass. Always ensure you are using the correct arrangement of the equation.
