When ever an object is standing still the momentum is?

When an object is still it has no momentum. That is, the momentum is zero.


What are some true statements about momentum?

Momentum can be transferred from one object to another. Momentum can be slowed by an intervening object. Momentum can be hastened by an intervening object.


The product of an object mass and velocity is called its What?

That's the object's linear momentum.


The momentum of a falling leaf is and the momentum of a falling pincone is what?

momentum is equal to the mass of an object x velocity of an object


What is the product of an object and the object's mass and velocity?

That's the object's linear momentum.


The product of an object's mass and velocity?

The product of an object's mass and velocity is called it's momentum. It is mostly called it's linear momentum to differentiate from the term angular momentum.


Is it true that an object never loses its momentum?

Momentum is related to velocity and mass. When an object's velocity is zero relative to its surroundings, it has no momentum. Therefore it is untrue to say that an object never looses its momentum.


Object A strikes object B the momentum of object B increase what happens to the momentum of object A?

You can't think of momentum as simply "increasing" and "decreasing" - you have to consider momentum as a vector.If in a collision one object's momentum changes by a certain amount, call it "a", the momentum of the other object will change by the opposite amount, "-a" - both "a" and "-a" are vectors that add up to zero. If you consider only the magnitudes of the momentum, by conservation of energy the momenta can't both increase - but they can certainly both decrease, when objects collide head-on.


Why an object will move if its velocity is constant?

Momentum. If an object has constant velocity, the object will move because it has momentum. Momentum tends to stay the same unless changed by a force.


How do you find the momentum with no velocity?

It is unclear what you mean. If you mean that you want to find momentum but do not have a value for velocity then it depends on what physical system you are using. If you want to find the momentum of an object with a velocity equal to zero then the momentum is zero. Answer2. You can find the momentum from its the integral of its force impulse fdt = d(mv). The momentum is mv= integral of fdt.


What moving object depends on the objects mass and velocity?

That's the object's linear momentum.


What conversation states that the momentum of an object before the collision is equal to the momentum of the object after the collision?

That law is called, precisely, the Law of Conservation of Momentum.
