Explain how a swarm of flying insects can have a net momentum of zero?
If they fly in different directions, the momentum (which is a vector quantity) of the individual insects can cancel.If they fly in different directions, the momentum (which is a vector quantity) of the individual insects can cancel.If they fly in different directions, the momentum (which is a vector quantity) of the individual insects can cancel.If they fly in different directions, the momentum (which is a vector quantity) of the individual insects can cancel.
Why is the third law called the law of conservation of momentum?
Since the force is the same in both directions, whatever momentum one object gains, the other loses.Since the force is the same in both directions, whatever momentum one object gains, the other loses.Since the force is the same in both directions, whatever momentum one object gains, the other loses.Since the force is the same in both directions, whatever momentum one object gains, the other loses.
Which has more momentum after firing the cannonball or the recoiling cannon?
they are both the same <b> </b> momentum is the same in both directions
What is the total momentum of the system before collision If two 0.5 kg balls approach each other with the same speed of 1.0 ms?
Momentum is mass times velocity. But in this case, you don't even need to calculate that: If I understand correctly, the balls have the same mass, the same speed, and they move exactly in opposite directions - so any momentum from one ball is exactly offset by the momentum of the other ball. In other words, if one ball has a momentum of +M, the other one will have a momentum of -M.
Can momenta cancel?
Yes, momenta can cancel each other out if they have equal magnitude but opposite direction. When two objects collide and the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision, the individual momenta can cancel each other.
What is the difference between linear momentum and angular momentum?
Linear momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity in a straight line, measuring how difficult it is to stop the object's motion. Angular momentum, on the other hand, is the product of an object's moment of inertia and angular velocity, measuring how difficult it is to stop the object's rotational motion around an axis.
Where is linear momentum conserved?
Inertia of matter.

Does measuring the momentum of the electron around the nucleus cause it to behave as a particle and so the cloud disappears as shown in double slots experiment?
Well, the act of measuring an electron's momentum changes its position, rendering the measurement invalid. This is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
How to find force using momentum and time?
To find force using momentum and time, you can use the formula: Force Change in momentum / Time. This equation helps calculate the force exerted on an object by measuring the change in momentum over a specific period of time.
What is the total momentum between two identical balls traveling toward each other at the same speed from opposite directions?
They have identical momentum before the collision . The total momentum will the the same before and after the collision. When the balls collide they will bounce apart both with same force and so the same momentum as originally - but in opposite directions. This assumes no energy loss in an ideal elastic collision.
