Does a 1-kg ball have less momentum or same momentum as a 10-kg ball?

Momentum is mass x velocity, so it would also depend on each ball's velocity.

Why is it easier to move a ping pong ball than a bowling ball?
Tennis balls are lighter than cricket balls. Therefore less mass. If a tennis ball travels at the same speed its momentum (mass x velocity) is lower. Therefore less momentum an easier to stop. Short answer, less mass and same speed means less momentum
A baseball flies through an open window and collides with a vase The momentum of the ball and vase after the collision is?
A baseball flies through an open window and collides with a vase. The momentum of the ball and vase after the collision is the same as the momentum of the ball alone before the collision.
What is ment by conseration of momentum?
Momentum is a constant. The momentum before and after an interaction is the same. E,g. a pool ball with momentum P=mV, the momentum after hitting a second ball is the same mv11 +m2v21 = m1v12 + m2v22 . If v21 is zero the momentum balance is still the same on both sides of the equality., teh momentum is constant..
Could elephant have the same momentum as a golf ball?
this question has the theoritical answer but it is not yet practically done. according to the theortical answer """"""""yes! elephant have the same momentum as a Golf ball<<<<<<<<< Actually, elephants can have the same momentum as a golf ball. the equation for momentum is m x v2. m is mass, v is speed, and the two represents "speed squared". If the golf ball has a huge speed, then yes, it can have the same momentum as the elephant.
Would a 34 kg ball moving at 8 ms have a greater or lower momentum than the 35 kg ball?
If both balls are moving at the same speed (velocity), the heavier (more massive) will have the greater momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. With identical velocities, the more massive object will have the greater momentum. If a 34 kg ball and a 35 kg ball are both moving at 8 m/s as asked, then the 34 kg ball will have less momentum than the 35 kg ball.
If a moving ball rolls into a stationary ball the total momentum of both balls after the collision will be?
By the Law of Conservation of Momentum, the total momentum after the collision must be the same as the total momentum before the collision.
Why it is possible to catch a solid ball as compared to a hollow ball of equal radius?
The solid ball, will have more mass in comparison to the hollow ball of the same radius. Since, momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity, the solid object will have more momentum. Therefore, the force required to stop the solid ball will be much greater than the force required to stop the hollow ball (since, the hollow ball will have less momentum because of its less mass). That's why its difficult to catch a a solid ball as compared to a hollow ball of equal radius.skhatti
Can objects with different masses have the same momentum?
Yes. Momentum is rigidly defined as the product of mass and velocity. Velocity describes both a speed and a direction. So let's take two metal balls. One weighs 10 kilograms (kg) and the other weighs 20kg. We roll the 10kg ball along a flat and level floor at 2 meters per second (m/s) and the 20 kg ball at 1 m/s. 10*2 = 20*1 so they have the same momentum. If you have a friend roll the balls for you to catch some distance away, making sure after a few tests to roll the lighter ball at twice the speed of the heavier ball, you will find that it "feels" as if both balls hit your hand with about the same force. Your hand is stopping each ball. That is a force which is defined as the rate of change in momentum. Stopping each ball will cause your muscles to exert about the same strength to stop each ball, even though one is moving at double the speed of the other. You will then feel that two objects can indeed travel at different speeds and yet have the same momentum. JGS
Can an elephant have the same momentum has a golf ball?
Momentum, in classical terms, is defined as mass x velocity. So, theoretically, an elephant could have the same momentum as a golf ball if the golf ball (small mass) is moving very, very fast, and the elephant (large mass) is moving very, very slowly. If the product of the mass x velocity is the same, then the momentum can be the same.
Could an elephant have the same momentum as an golf ball?
yes
Compare the speed of a moving golf ball with the speed of a moving bowling ball if both balls have the same amount of momentum?
momentum=velocity x mass say a golf ball weighs 1 pound and the bowling ball weighs 5 pounds the golf ball would have to be moving 5 times faster than the bowling ball to have the same momentum
What the momentum between two identical balls traveling toward each other at thae same speed from opposites direction?
The momentum of one ball will be exactly the opposite of the momentum of the other ball. The total momentum in this case will be zero.
