What else can I help you with?
Does the total amount of momentum stays the same when objects collide?
Yes, according to the law of conservation of momentum, in a closed system the total momentum before a collision will equal the total momentum after the collision. Therefore, the total amount of momentum stays the same when objects collide.
How does momentum transfer stack in physical systems?
In physical systems, momentum transfer stacks when multiple objects collide or interact. The total momentum before the interaction is equal to the total momentum after the interaction, showing that momentum is conserved. This principle helps us understand how objects move and interact in the physical world.
Does the law of universal gravitation state that the total momentum of objects that interact does not change?
No. The "total momentum" is related to Newton's Third Law. No, that is the law of conservation of momentum.
What states that when objects collide the total amount of momentum stays the same?
law of preservation of momentum
What happen to momentum when objects collide?
The total amount of momentum stays the same. Momentum is neither lost nor gained.
The law of universal gravitation states that the total momentum of objects that interact does not change true or false?
False.
What is conserved in an inelastic collision and how does it affect the outcome of the interaction?
In an inelastic collision, momentum is conserved. This means that the total momentum of the objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. The conservation of momentum affects the outcome of the interaction by determining how the objects move and interact with each other after the collision.
What states that the total momentum of objects that interact do not change?
You have more or less described a law of physics known as conservation of momentum, which is not the same thing as the law of universal gravitation. The law of universal gravitation describes the way mass attracts other mass, and the law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum is neither created nor destroyed. These two laws are not connected.
What happens to momentum when moving objects collide?
The momenta of individual objects changes. The total momentum remains constant. I have to disagree. If you have two cars that collide head on, the momentum of both vehicles stops. The ENERGY created by the impact causes usually, some reverse momentum but the momentum is lost.
What happens when two objects interact in an isolated system?
In an isolated system, the total momentum of the objects before and after the interaction remains constant according to the law of conservation of momentum. This means that if one object gains momentum, the other object will lose an equal amount of momentum. Additionally, any potential energy converted to kinetic energy during the interaction will also be conserved in the system.
Is momentum conserved in elastic collisions?
Yes, momentum is conserved in elastic collisions. This means that the total momentum of the objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the objects after the collision.
The total amount of momentum of a group of objects does not change unless outside forces act on the objects?
This statement is consistent with the principle of conservation of momentum. In the absence of external forces, the total momentum of a system remains constant. This means that the sum of the momenta of all objects in the system before a collision or interaction will be equal to the sum of the momenta after, provided no external forces are involved.
