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.
Does an objects momentum changes when it slows down?
yes because momentum deals with motion and if an object slows down there is no motion or MOMENTUM
Theorem that states that an impulse produces a change in momentum?
It is called the momentum-impulse theorem and states that an impulse will change the momentum of an object. For example, if you drop an object when it hits the ground an impulse occurs. The momentum of the object also changes. Jnet = deltap, where deltap is the change in momentum.
Object A strikes object B the momentum of object B increase what happens to the momentum of object A?
You can't think of momentum as simply "increasing" and "decreasing" - you have to consider momentum as a vector.If in a collision one object's momentum changes by a certain amount, call it "a", the momentum of the other object will change by the opposite amount, "-a" - both "a" and "-a" are vectors that add up to zero. If you consider only the magnitudes of the momentum, by conservation of energy the momenta can't both increase - but they can certainly both decrease, when objects collide head-on.
Which of these changes as the momentum of an object changes?
Momentum is defined as mass times velocity, so if the velocity changes, the momentum would naturally also change.
What changes when you change the mass of a moving object?
Quantities which depend on the mass of an object are its momentum, and kinetic energy.Both change if the mass changes. In addition, if the object's volume doesn't change,then its density also changes.
What incereases when the mass and speed of an object increase?
Each of those changes causes an increase in both the momentum and kinetic energy of the moving object.
What is the inertia of motion?
Inertia of motion is the resistance mass has to motion. It also is the resistance in change in momentum. Momentum includes two things: velocity and direction. When an object changes its velocity, the momentum of the object resists the change. Also, when an object does change its velocity, its momentum is directly changed. In general, the inertia of motion is matter's unwillingness to change velocity or momentum.
If the momentum of an object changes and its mass remains constant?
Momentum = mass x velocity. Therefore, more mass will result in more momentum.
How do forces cause a change in an object's momentum?
A force acting on a body causes acceleration. Acceleration is measure of the rate of change in the object's velocity. As its velocity changes, its momentum, which is the product of its mass and velocity, will change.
When ever an object is standing still the momentum is?
When an object is still it has no momentum. That is, the momentum is zero.
What are some true statements about momentum?
Momentum can be transferred from one object to another. Momentum can be slowed by an intervening object. Momentum can be hastened by an intervening object.
