Will two cars of different engine capacities maintain the same momentum if driving at the same speed?
No, the momentum of the cars would not be the same. Momentum is proportional to both mass and velocity, so if two cars are moving at the same speed but have different engine capacities (implying different masses), then their momenta will also be different.
Is the momentum of a car traveling south different from that of the same car when it travels north at the same speed?
No, since it's a vector quantity and has direction. The two automobiles will have the same absolute value, but will be the negation of one another, for example 50 and -50.
If two different masses have the same kinetic energy their momenta is?
... different. Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, wherease momentum is proportional to the speed.
How could two objects travailing at the same speed have different amounts of momentum?
Momentum is a vector and so obeys the laws of vector addition. These imply that the momentum of two two objects will be the sum of the individual momentum only if the objects are moving in the same direction.
Is the momentum of the car travelling north different from the one of the same car when it travels south at the same speed?
Momentum is a vector. This means it has magnitude and direction. The magnitude will be the same. But the sign will be different. If north is positive, south will be negative. This is the only difference.
When comparing the momentum of a bus filled with fuel and people and a small car both travelling at the same speed which one has more momentum?
The bus has more momentum. Momentum is velocity times mass, if both vehicles are travelling at the same speed then they have the same velocity, but the bus full of people will have more mass. Therefore the mass component of the bus in the equation will be higher than that of the car, giving a higher overall momentum.
How can a car and semi truck have the same momentum?
By traveling at the same speed. Kinetic energy is a completely different story, however.
A car and a train are traveling with the same velocitydo the two objects have the same momentum?
No, the car and the train would not have the same momentum. Momentum is mass times velocity, so even if they are traveling at the same speed, the train would typically have a much larger mass than the car, meaning that their momentums would be different.
Is the momentum of a car and a train that have the same velocity the same or different?
Different. Momentum is velocity * mass.
When the mass of a moving object is doubled and its speed remains the same its momentum?
When the mass of a moving object is doubled and its speed remains the same, its momentum also doubles. Momentum is directly proportional to mass, so doubling the mass will result in a doubling of the momentum regardless of the speed.
How does speed effect momentum?
Speed directly affects momentum. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, so the faster an object is moving, the higher its momentum will be. This means that an object moving at a higher speed will have greater momentum compared to the same object moving at a lower speed.
Is it possible that have the different mass always have the same momentum?
Not always, but they do have the same momentum when the product of the mass and speed of each is the same number. So a larger mass can have the same momentum as a smaller mass if it's moving faster. Simple example: A rifle bullet can knock a large animal down.
