What is the energy during momentum?

There is no "energy during momentum". A moving object has both non-zero momentum, and non-zero kinetic energy.


Can any object have mechanical energy even if its momentum is zero. Explain?

Yes - mechanical energy includes both gravitational potential energy, and kinetic energy. If an object's momentum is zero, then its kinetic energy will also be zero, but its potential energy can be positive or negative, depending on whether the object is above or below the chosen reference level.


Can you have kinetic energy without momentum?

We don't think you can. Here's our reasoning: -- Kinetic energy of an object is [(1/2)(mass)(speed)2]. If kinetic energy is not zero, then mass can't be zero, and speed can't be zero either. -- Momentum of the object is [(mass)(speed)]. If mass isn't zero and speed isn't zero, then momentum isn't zero.


Describe the momentum of objects at rest?

momentum is the tendency of an object to stay in motion or the force (energy) required to stop an objects motion. an object at rest (not moving) has no momentum.


An object in motion has?

It has a non-zero momentum. It also has non-zero kinetic energy.


An object that has linear momentum must also have?

Momentum. The formula for kinetic energy is: KE = .5 * m *v^2 The formula for momentum is: p = m * v If an object has kinetic energy, then both mass and velocity are non-zero, which implies that the momentum is also non-zero.


Can an object have momentum without speed?

No, it cannot. In the case of an object moving in the free space (no forces acting on the object) the energy consists of only the kinetic energy which is proportional to squared momentum. Thus, if the object has a momentum it has an energy to. Basically an object possesses some energy in any kind of time, and it might happen that the energy is zero. It doesn't mean that it has no energy. It means that the object has energy equals zero (which is not the same).


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.


Can somthing have momentum without having energy?

momentum = mass * velocity kinetic energy = 1/2 mass * velocity^2 If an object has non-zero momentum, it has non-zero velocity. It thus has kinetic energy, at least. It most likely has other forms of energy as well (potential, thermal, etc.)


How much momentum does an object have that is not moving?

If an object is at rest, it has no momentum because the formula for momentum is p = mv, where p= momentum, m = mass and v = velocity. If the object is at rest, then the velocity is zero, so p = m*0. therefore p = 0.


To have momentum an object must be?

Momentum = m v (mass, velocity). If either one is zero, momentum is zero. So in order to have momentum, an object must have both mass and speed, in the frame of reference.


Does a stationary object has interia and momentum?

A stationary object has inertia, but not momentum. Momentum is the product of (mass) times (velocity). If the velocity is zero, then the momentum is zero.
