When 2 objects collide their momentum after the collision is explained by?
Newton's Laws of motion. Specifically, his Second (F = ma, or more generally, F = dp/dt) and Third (F1 = -F2) Laws.
How do you find the total momentum of 2 objects moving at the same speed in opposite directions?
(1) Decide on a direction that you will consider positive. (2) Calculate the momentum of the object that travels in the "positive" direction. (3) Calculate the momentum of the object that travels in the "negative" direction (the momentum should be negative). (4) Add both numbers algebraically.
What in physics is the example of a car veers off course and runs straight into a brick wall so that pieces of the wall break free too?
short time, large force momentum and conservation of momentum when 2 objects collide
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 happens to the momentum of two objects which collide and stick together?
In a collision, a force acts upon an object for a given amount of time to change the object's velocity. The product of force and time is known as impulse. The product of mass and velocity change is known as momentum change. In a collision the impulse encountered by an object is equal to the momentum change it experiences.Impulse = Momentum Change. What happens to the momentum when two objects collide? Nothing! unless you have friction around. Momentum#1 + Momentum#2 before collision = sum of momentums after collision (that's a vector sum).
All objects have momentum?
To find the magnitude of momentum you use the formula: p=mv So, if an object has a mass (and if it exists then it would), and if it is moving (has a velocity), then yes, it has momentum.
What effect does the distance between 2 objects have on gravity?
oscilation

What are 2 factors that determine how much gravity there is between 2?
The two factors are the amount of mass an object has and the distance between the two objects.
What 2 factors affect the amount of gravity between objects?
Masses and distances
What 2 things effect the size of the gravity force between 2 objects?
Mass and volume.

Why you calculate momentum?
momentum is caused by inertia. all objects have inertia, which means if they are moving at a certain velocity or are at rest they will continue to move at that velocity or remain at rest unless acted on by a force. Objects of more mass have greater inertia, so the amount of momentum is equal to the product of an objects mass and the magnitude of its velocity.
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.
