Can a slower car have more momentum than a faster car?
Yes. The Formula for momentum is Momentum= Mass x Velocity. If the slower car has a larger mass, it will likely have a larger momentum.
What is the reason of pendulum clocks become slow in summer?
During the summer the pendulum which is generally made of metal, expands due to the rise in temperature. this causes the pendulum to move slower and hence the clock becomes slower.
Does a pendulum move faster the longer it is?
no it moves slower
If an object is thrown does it gain momentum or lose momentum?
It depends at what time in the throw your talking about. In the beginning it gains momentum, then in the middle it starts to lose momentum then in the end it loses all momentum.
As a pendulum swings energy is continuosly transformed between kinetic energy and?
When the pendulum swings up, it gains potential energy, but loses kinetic energy. Therefore when it swing down, it gains kinetic energy, but loses potential energy.
What causes a pendulum to swing?
momentum
How does the height of pendulum affect momentum of the lump of clay?
As the length of a pendulum increase the time period increases whereby its speed decreases and thus the momentum decrease.
Can a slower car have more momentum than a faster car?
Yes. The Formula for momentum is Momentum= Mass x Velocity. If the slower car has a larger mass, it will likely have a larger momentum.

Why do people with long legs generally walk with a slower stride than people with short legs?
Natural period of a long pendulum is slower than for a short pendulum.

When does a pendulum have the most momentum?
When the pendulum is at its lowest point, it has the least potential energy. Therefore, logically, due to conservation of energy, its kinetic energy is at its maximum. Therefore its speed is also at its maximum, as well as its momentum (velocity x mass).
Time period of a pendulum on moon is?
About 40.7% of that on Earth or about 2.46 times slower.
As a pendulum swings energy is continuosly transformed between kinetic energy and?
When the pendulum swings up, it gains potential energy, but loses kinetic energy. Therefore when it swing down, it gains kinetic energy, but loses potential energy.
How does thermal expansion affect the accuracy of the pendulum clock?
the pendulum gets longer ever so slightly and therefore the clock thinks that they are still seconds but they are slightly longer than seconds. This means that gradually it will become slower and slower.
Is it true that an object never loses its momentum?
Momentum is related to velocity and mass. When an object's velocity is zero relative to its surroundings, it has no momentum. Therefore it is untrue to say that an object never looses its momentum.
