Does an object with less mass have more momentum than an object with more mass?

True, Because say if you have one acorn in a basket, The basket will be easy to move. Now lets say if you have enough acorns to fill the basket to the rim, The basket will be harder to move because of its weight and inertia.

∙ 15y agoThe object with greater mass has more inertia. Inertia is the change in momentum (p)
Thus, as p = mv
p = momentum
m = mass of object
v = velocity of mass
Intertia is proportional to mass and as such, the greater mass has a greater momentum provided the velocities of both masses are the same.

Newton's First Law expresses the principle of inertia, which we can say in various ways: "An object moves at constant velocity when not being acted on by any external force". (Note how friction is a VERY common "external force" that slows things down; this is what had tripped up Aristotle.) Equivalently, "An object will continue at the same speed and in the same direction until some outside force acts on it." See your basic physics text. Inertia relates to momentum, since momentum is the product of mass and velocity (p=mv), that is, "momentum is mass in motion". And object's inertia and momentum are not to be confused with how it is affected by gravitational acceleration, which affects all objects equally. A larger-mass object has more inertia, but it will free-fall at the same speed, and with the same rate of acceleration per second, as a smaller-mass object -- it just takes more force to stop the larger object in free-fall (or, alternatively, it will hit the ground with more force than the smaller object). Galileo's understanding of inertia, which was built on by Newton, debunked the centuries-old Aristotelian notions of motion, which had gotten stuck on friction (pun intended) and would have mistakenly predicted that the larger-mass object should fall faster.

∙ 11y agoMomentum is the product of mass times velocity. If two objects have different mass, we cannot compare their momentum unless we also know their velocity. However, if we are talking about two objects which are moving at the same velocity, then the object that has more mass will also have more momentum.

∙ 12y agoNo. Its the other way around. Objects with more mass have more inertia.

∙ 9y agoYes the more massive an object is the more inertia

If the momentum of an object changes and its mass remains constant?
Momentum = mass x velocity. Therefore, more mass will result in more momentum.
What is an example of an object with a small mass that has a large momentum?
That would depend on what you consider "large".The size of an object's momentum = (its mass) x (its speed).So, more mass and more speed result in more momentum.
Does a moving object have impluse?
More or less. Actually, a moving object has momentum - defined as mass times velocity. The word "impulse" is used for transfer of momentum, for example, in a collision. It has the same units as momentum, but the use of the word "impulse" seems inappropriate in this context.
What happens to the momentum if the mass of the object increases?
The momentum will increase in this case.The momentum will increase in this case.The momentum will increase in this case.The momentum will increase in this case.
What measures how hard it is to slow or stop an object?
It all depends on its acceleration, velocity, speed and its mass. The faster somthing goes, the more time it takes to slow down. To slow the same onject down fater, more force has to be applied in the opposite direction. A less massive object [lighter] takes less time to slow down than a more massive object [heavier].
What will make an object accelerate faster one with less inertia or more momentum?
If an object has more momentum, it has either a greater mass or a greater velocity. If an object has less inertia, it has less mass. So am object with less inertia will accelerate faster than one with greater momentum because of a greater mass, assuming the same force of acceleration is applied to both. However, if the greater momentum is due to greater velocity, not enough information has been provided to answer the question.
Does an object with more momentum have more or less inertia?
An object with more momentum will have more inertia. Inertia is the ability to resist a change in force; objects with higher masses and higher speeds will have greater inertia. Speed * mass = momentum
What is the relationship between momentum and mass?
The more the mass, the more momentum you will need for an object to speed up more, or accelerate.
What is needed for an object to have large momentum?
That would depend on what you consider "large".The size of an object's momentum = (its mass) x (its speed).So, more mass and more speed result in more momentum.
If the momentum of an object changes and its mass remains constant?
Momentum = mass x velocity. Therefore, more mass will result in more momentum.

How does an object with higher momentum move?
Momentum is the product of velocity and mass - so to have a "higher momentum", the object must either be more massive, or it must move faster.
What happens to the momentum if the mass of the object increases?
The momentum will increase in this case.The momentum will increase in this case.The momentum will increase in this case.The momentum will increase in this case.
The more mass an object has the harder it is to change its acceleration?
Because of air friction, the more physical space that an object takes up, the more power the object will need to move, this is because of the way air forces friction onto the moving object, therefore a small car/vehicle will have less air friction than a larger vehicle with more surface area
Is it possible for an object to have more kinetic energy but less momentum?
yes,it is possible
What measures how hard it is to slow or stop an object?
It all depends on its acceleration, velocity, speed and its mass. The faster somthing goes, the more time it takes to slow down. To slow the same onject down fater, more force has to be applied in the opposite direction. A less massive object [lighter] takes less time to slow down than a more massive object [heavier].
