Technically speaking, something with zero mass would not be considered a "body" in the physical sense of the word. It is possible for mass-less particles, like photons to have a momentum. The debroglie wavelength of a photon is inversely related to its momentum. This is not momentum in the classical sense, as a car might have while it is driving, therefore it must be calculated differently. The momentum of the photon is given by : hf/c.
h is the Planck constant, c is the speed of light and f is the frequency of the photon.
What else can I help you with?
Does a body moving with uniform acceleration have momentum?
Yes, a body moving with uniform acceleration has momentum. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. As long as the object is moving and has mass, it will have momentum.
How much momentum does a 500 kilograms mass have if its not moving?
"Momentum" is the product of mass x velocity. You can base your calculations on that.
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 is the momentum of zero?
The momentum of an object with zero velocity is zero. Momentum is calculated as mass multiplied by velocity, so if velocity is zero, momentum will also be zero.
How do you find momentum at rest?
Momentum is defined as the product of the mass and the velocity. P = mv. As the body is at rest its velocity v = 0. Hence momentum P =0.
Can a body have kinetic energy without having momentum?
Momentum = (mass) x (speed) Kinetic Energy = 1/2 (mass) x (speed)2 It looks like the only way a body can have zero momentum is to have either zero mass or else zero speed, and if either of those is zero, then that makes the KE also zero as well, too. So the answer to the question is apparently: no.
What effect does mass of the object have on its momentum?
Yes, mass will affect momentum in a collision or in anything else. Any object with mass and non-zero velocity will have momentum. Mass is directly proportional to momentum. Double the mass of an object moving with a given velocity and the momentum doubles.
Example for a body with zero momentum and some kinetic energy?
No solution. Zero momentum (MV) means either zero mass or zero velocity. Either one results in zero kinetic energy (1/2 MV2).
What is the state of a body having zero momentum?
Zero momentum means that the state of a body is also zero, and is static.
How much momentum does a stationary 5500kg mass have?
A stationary object has zero momentum since momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity. In this case, since the object is not moving, its momentum is zero.
What is an example of an object with a momentum of zero?
An object at rest has zero momentum. For example, a stationary rock on the ground has zero momentum because both its mass and velocity are zero.
What does momentum mean in science?
Momentum of a body is got by the product of its mass and velocity. If the concerned body is at rest then momentum is ZERO. If m is the mass and v is the velocity then mv is the momentum. Momentum is a vector quantity. Its unit is kg m/s
