Does an object have to be heavy in order to have momentum?
No. Even a single electron has momentum.
Does an object have to be heavy to have momentum?
no, it simply has to have mass.
Which has a greater momentum a heavy truck at rest or a moving skeatboard?
skateboard. momentum is mass times velocity thus if 0 velocity=0 momentum
Why it is hard to stop fast moving and heavy vehicles?
Momentum.
How do you get use to a heavy cricket bat?
You learn to hit it hard by the momentum from the bat
When a wrecking ball hits a wall it is not moving fast How can it have enough momentum to knock down a wall?
Momentum is a function of both mass and speed. The wrecking ball isn't moving very fast, but it is extremely heavy; that is where its momentum comes from.
What stops first a heavy object or a light one?
A light object has less momentum than a heavy object. A light object would stop first.
Why is it harder to stop a heavy football player than a lighter football player?
A heavy football player is harder to stop because it has a greater momentum. In physics, momentum is equal to the mass of an object times its velocity. If a 50 kilogram kid and a 70 kilogram man were running at the same speed, the man would be harder to stop because he would have a greater momentum.
Would it be more difficult to stop a truck carrying a heavy load or to stop the same truck empty?
A truck that is more heavy with the same velocity whil the truck is less heavy it will have more momentum!!
A piece of putty moving with 1 unit of momentum strikes to a heavy bowling ball that is initially at rest After the putty sticks to the ball both are set in motion with a combined momentum that is?
1 unit.
How can a heavy moving van have the same momentum as a small motorcycle?
Momentum = Mass x Velocity. They could have the same momentum if the motorcycle is going fast and the van is going slow. If the van weighs ten times as much as the motorcycle, and is driving 5 mph it would have the same momentum as the motorcycle driving 50 mph.
A heavy rotating wheel that stabilizes the speed of the device to which it is attached?
a flywheel
