Why does bouncing of an object result in a greater change of momentum rather than just colliding?
Momentum is the mass multiplied the change in velocity. If you think about it, bouncing an object means that it comes back from whatever it bounced against, giving it a negative velocity. This means that the change in velocity for bouncing is greater than for colliding because in an inelastic collision like the one described, the velocity goes to zero.
What is does momentum have to do with bottle rockets?
When it comes to water bottles, there is downward momentum, which creates an upward momentum. The reason for this is the conservation of momentum. That's why the water bottle is driven upward. The downward momentum is created by the water mass times water's velocity.
How long till a bullet loses momentum?
It starts to lose momentum the second it comes out of the barrel. It depends on where you shot it when the momentum is totally depleted (if you shoot straight up or parallel to the ground).
Why is the variable p used for momentum?
Before the word "momentum" was decided upon, they used "impetus". Impetus comes from the latin, "petere," to go towards or rush upon. Petere is where the p comes from. Rather usefully p is also the mirror of q (the reaction to a momentum) which makes it rather memorable.
What is the difference between mass and momentum?
Mass is a fundamental measure of inertia; it measures the resistance of the body to changes in its motion. Thus, inertia is resistance to motion changes. Whereas, momentum is mass in motion, and, is defined as the mass times the velocity. Examples. A girl (or a baseball) has a certain mass and, therefore, inertia. She can directly feel her body's inertia as the resistance she encounters when she changes her body's momentum, such as when she: * comes to a skater's stop, digging her blades into the ice, and feeling the ice pushing against her feet and legs, as she slows. * stopped at the bottom, laboriously starts her bicycle up a steep hill. * catches a fast baseball, stinging her hands, as the ball's momentum decreases abruptly to zero.

What is the time a batter has to react to hitting a baseball?
when it comes out the pitchers hand
When a wrecking ball hits a wall it is not moving fast How can it have enough momentum to knock down a wall?
Momentum is a function of both mass and speed. The wrecking ball isn't moving very fast, but it is extremely heavy; that is where its momentum comes from.
Which is greater -3 or -underroot of 7?
-10
Does lilabilty insurance cover a deer hitting a car?
Generally when it comes to hitting an animal your insurance angency will only make you pay your deductible. Sometimes it is completely covered.
How can you tell if one number is greater than another number?
by seeing what number comes before or after for example: 6 is greater then 5 because 5 comes before 6 therefore 6 is greater.
It occurs when light hitting the boundary between two media comes from a denser medium?
Refraction.
What is the quantum mechanical interpretation of spin?
Not to be confused with spin angular momentum, the spin of a charged particle is associated with a magnetic dipole moment. All fermions (elementary particles) have spin 1/2. And spin comes as n/2 where n is an integer greater than or equal to 0.
What is moving in an ocean wave?
Momentum is being transferred, so momentum is moving. Water molecules follow a small more or less circular path in the deep ocean, with definite linear components as the wave comes ashore.
