Law of Conversation momentum?
When two or more Physicists gather for leisure activities, the conversation turns to momentum, whereas as soon as a certain threshold duration has been exceeded, the conversation then runs out of momentum.
What does conversation of momentum mean?
Conservation of momentum means that momentum is a constant and the change of momentum or force is zero.
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.
The collision between two helium atoms is perfectly elastic so that momentum is conserved?
Momentum is always conserved in any type of collision. Energy conservation, however, is dependant on elasticity. In a perfectly elastic collision all energy is conserved.
Does a moving object have impulse explain in 2 lines?
An object moving in a frictionless envirnment has not impulse, but in all other moving objects have impulse. Impulse is defined as a change in momentum and therefore if the object is slowing due to friction it is has impulse.

A 1 kg mass is sliding along a frictionless surface at plus 6 ms and collides with another object mass equals 3 kg at rest The collision is perfectly inelastic What is the velocity of the 1kg obj?
In a perfectly inelastic collision, the two objects stick together and the momentum is conserved. Once the objects stick together, they both have the same velocity. p = mv where p is the momentum conservation of momentum for perfectly inelastic collision: m1v1i + m2v2i = (m1 + m2)vf (1kg)(6m/s) + (3kg)(0m/s) = (1 kg + 3kg)vf 6 kg·m/s = (4kg) vf vf = v1f = v2f = 1.5 m/s
Is the law of conversation of momentum one of the newtons law?
The law of conservation of momentum is implied by Newton's laws of motion, but is a more succinct statement of them.
As a rotating cloud collapses its rate of rotation?
The law of conversation of angular momentum.

What is the momentum of a 50 kg carton that slides at 4 meters per second across an icy frictionless surface?
momentum=mass*velocity(P=MV) P=50*4 P=200 kg m/s
If you are at rest do you have momentum?
The momentum of a body is defined as the product of is mas and velocity. Momentum = Mass x Velocity. If a body is at rest then obviously its velocity is zero. Therefore, its momentum also becomes zero.
What does the law of conversation of momentum mean?
The law of Conservation of Momentum is the result of The Law of Equilibrium, Force equals zero. When Force is zero, Momentum is constant, dP/dt = f = 0. dP/dr = 0 gives P = k a constant.
Can you calculate the value of momentum in gram meter per second?
Sure. That's a perfectly good unit of momentum. So is (any unit of mass) divided by (any unit of speed).
How can you get away in a frictionless surface?
You have to get rid of mass. Throw things, spit, fire a gun if you have one, etc. Since momentum is conserved, every time you get rid of something, you move across the ice in the opposite direction.
