How do you calculate the new velocity so that momentum remains same?

apply conservation of momentum theory-
m1v1=m2v2
where m1 is the initial mass, m2 is the final mass, v1 is the initial velocity and v2 is the final velocity.

How about if the velocity is doubled but the mass remains the same?
Momentum is a simple product of mass time velocity. So if the velocity doubles the momentum doubles.
Is the momentum of a car and a train that have the same velocity the same or different?
Different. Momentum is velocity * mass.
The momentum of an objects is in the same what as its velocity?
In the same direction. Both momentum and velocity are vectors.
What happens to the momentum if the mass of the object increases?
The momentum will increase in this case.The momentum will increase in this case.The momentum will increase in this case.The momentum will increase in this case.
Does momentum have a direction?
Momentum is mass x velocity; velocity has a direction, therefore momentum has a direction.Momentum is mass x velocity; velocity has a direction, therefore momentum has a direction.Momentum is mass x velocity; velocity has a direction, therefore momentum has a direction.Momentum is mass x velocity; velocity has a direction, therefore momentum has a direction.
Are velocity acceleration and momentum the same?
Absolutely not.Velocity is speed in a particular direction.Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. NB that is velocity; if an obect's speed remains the same, but it's direction changes, that is a change in velocity which means there was an acceleration.Momentum is velocity multiplied by mass.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity and you want to change it's momentum you would change it's?
The answer is velocity.
Is momentum inversely proportional to velocity?
No, momentum is directly proportional to velocity, and in the same direction..
If two objects have the same velocity do they have the same momentum?
No, because momentum depends on velocity and mass so they may have the same velocity but if they have different masses then they will have different momenta. (momenta is the plural form of momentum.)
Momentum has the same direction of what?
Velocity!
Which truck has more momentum a 2000kg truckor a 2kg truck?
That would depend on their velocity (speed with direction), since the formula for momentum is momentum=Mass*Velocity. If they are moving at the same Velocity, the heavier of the two would have greater momentum.
If the momentum of an object changes and its mass stays the same what happens?
momentum = mass * velocity As the momentum changes with constant mass, the velocity cahnges.
