Does an object have to be heavy to have momentum?
no, it simply has to have mass.
What stops first a heavy object or a light one?
A light object has less momentum than a heavy object. A light object would stop first.
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.
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.
What are some true statements about momentum?
Momentum can be transferred from one object to another. Momentum can be slowed by an intervening object. Momentum can be hastened by an intervening object.
In order for a small object to have a large momentun the object needs to be stationary true or false?
False. The momentum of an object is given by the mass times the velocity of the object. Hence, a low-mass object must have a large velocity to have a large momentum.
The product of an object mass and velocity is called its What?
That's the object's linear momentum.
What is the momentum of 12 miles per seconds?
The momentum of any object depends on its mass as well as its speed, so I would need to know the object's mass in order to answer the question.
Anya knows the velocity of an object. What else does she need to know in order to find the objects momentum?
The mass of the object.
Is acceleration used to calculate momentum?
You may see acceleration mentioned in a momentum problem; but if it's there, it's only purposeis to help you find the object's velocity.All you need to know in order to find momentum is the object's mass and velocity.
The momentum of a falling leaf is and the momentum of a falling pincone is what?
momentum is equal to the mass of an object x velocity of an object
What is meant by momentum of a body?
Classically momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. In relativistic mechanics, in order to be conserved, the momentum of an object must be defined as p=γm0v where m0 is the invariant mass of the object and γ is the Lorentz factor, given by γ=1/(Sqrt(1-(v/c)2) where v is the speed of the object and c is the speed of light.
