    Topic 1C Momentum
    1 Two birds are flying in a straight line directly towards one another. They each
    have a mass of 2.0 kg and a speed of 5.0 ms−1. Which line of the table below
    gives the total momentum and kinetic energy of the two birds?

    Momentum/kg ms−1 Kinetic energy/J


    A 50 10
    B 10 50
    C 0 50
    D 0 10

    (b) When the aircraft is in steady flight, its momentum is constant. Explain how
    the law of conservation of momentum applies even though the jet engine
    continues to accelerate the air/exhaust gases.
