Is an object's momentum directly proportional to an objects velocity?

Yes.


What effect does mass of the object have on its momentum?

Yes, mass will affect momentum in a collision or in anything else. Any object with mass and non-zero velocity will have momentum. Mass is directly proportional to momentum. Double the mass of an object moving with a given velocity and the momentum doubles.


IF an objects veolicty is doubled its momentum is?

Use the symbols 'm' for the object's mass, and 'v' for its velocity. Momentum is defined as 'mv' = the product of the object's mass and velocity. If the velocity doubles, then the new momentum is 'm' times '2v' = 2mv = 2 times (mv). This is just double the original momentum. So you can see that the magnitude of momentum is directly proportional to the magnitude of velocity, provided the mass remains constant.


What depend on objects mass and velocity?

a moving objects momentum


What happens to an objects kinetic energy as its mass increases?

kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2 mv^2 that is, it is directly proportional to mass, assuming velocity to be constant and is directly proportional to square of velocity assuming mass to be constant.


Is a property of moving objects that depends on mass and velocity?

Momentum depends on mass and velocity.


The momentum of an objects is in the same what as its velocity?

In the same direction. Both momentum and velocity are vectors.


What property that a moving object has due to its mass and velocity?

The property you are looking for is the objects momentum. Momentum = Mass * Velocity.


The product of an objects mass and velocity is called its?

momentum (vector)


What is a property of a moving object resulting from its mass and velocity is?

The property you are looking for is the objects momentum. Momentum = Mass * Velocity.


Inertia is the resistance of an object to a change in its?

Inertia is directly proportional to an objects mass. Inertia is the desire of objects to continue doing exactly what they are doing. The greater the mass the greater the inertia.


Does a 1 kilogram ball or a 10 kilogram ball have more momentum?

Inertia is directly proportional to mass. Unless you mean rotational inertia, in which case it depends on the shape, but for two objects of the same shape (and mass distribution), the more massive always has higher inertia.
