The momentum is conserved and the velocity is reduced v2=m1v1/(m1 + load))

The momentum of an object traveling with a certain velocity will increase if a load is added to it while in motion. This is because momentum is directly proportional to both mass and velocity, so adding mass will result in an increase in momentum as long as the velocity remains constant.

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.
What happens to the momentum if the mass stays the same but the velocity is increased?
Momentum increases.
If mass doubles what happens to momentum?
If mass doubles, momentum stays the same, but the velocity is half. momentum = mass * velocity mass1 * velocity1 = mass2 * velocity2
What happens to momentum when the mass decreases?
Less mass means less momentum. Momentum also depends on the velocity.
What happens to momentum if you quadruple the force?
Momentum is mass x velocity. It is not directly related to force.

Momentum is mass x velocity. It is not directly related to force.
What happens to momentum when velocity doubles?
Momentum is equal to the product of mass and velocity, so either the mass halves or the momentum doubles.
What happens to the momentum of a body acted on by an external force?
If the force opposes the motion, it will reduce the velocity and the momentum of the body will decrease. If the force is in the direction of the motion, the velocity will increase and the momentum will increase.
What happens to the leniar momentum when force is absent?
Nothing. Momentum is mass in kg x velocity in m/s.
What happens to the momentum when mass is slowly decreasing but the velocity keeps constant?
Momentum = mass x velocity. Here velocity is constant. So momentum is directly proportional to the mass. Hence as mass decreases momentum too decreases proportionaly. If mass is reduced to half of its original then momentum also gets reduced to half of its original
What happens to the momentum if the mass of the object increases?
The momentum will increase in this case.The momentum will increase in this case.The momentum will increase in this case.The momentum will increase in this case.
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).
Can a bird and a bowling ball have the same momentum?
Yes. Momentum is simply the product of mass x velocity. If the bowling ball happens to be on the shelf, then even a housefly or a falling piece of tissue has more momentum.
