What else can I help you with?
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.)
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.
How can it be possible for two objects with different velocities to have the same momentum?
Two objects with different velocities can have the same momentum if one object has a greater mass and a lower velocity while the other object has a lower mass and a greater velocity. Because momentum is the product of mass and velocity, if the product of mass and velocity for each object is the same, their momenta will be equal.
How can a butterfly have the same momentum as a freight train if they are both in motion?
Assuming you mean the butterfly is trapped inside the train... The air surrounding the butterfly - is travelling at the same speed as the train. The butterfly is simply flying in an enclosed space of stable air.
How can object with different masses have the same momentum?
Momentum is not just mass. Momentum is the product of mass x velocity.
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.
How do you apply the concept of momentum to compare the mass and velocity of a slow moving train and of a high-speed bullet?
The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity. In the case of a slow moving train and a high-speed bullet, the bullet would have a higher momentum due to its higher velocity even if its mass is smaller. This is because momentum is more affected by velocity than by mass.
2 objects with same velocity have same momentum if they have the same?
mass. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, so if two objects have the same velocity and mass, then their momentum will be the same.
The momentum of an objects is in the same what as its velocity?
The direction of an object's momentum is the same as its velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity that takes into account both an object's mass and its velocity, so a change in velocity will result in a change in momentum.
How does the direction of momentum compare to the direction of velocity?
Momentum is a vector quantity that is proportional to velocity. The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of velocity, but momentum includes the mass of the object in addition to its velocity.
The momentum of an object is in the same direction as what?
The momentum of an object is in the same direction as its velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity that depends on both an object's mass and its velocity. When an object moves in a certain direction, its momentum points in the same direction as its velocity.
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.
