Momentum = Mass x Velocity (p=mv)
Of course an object at rest would have no momentum no matter what the mass is (velocity = 0 so momentum = 0).
Playing volleyball with a balloon might be something that would be considered low momentum. You can hit it as hard as you like, but it has so little mass that its momentum can hardly overcome the air resistance.
You might push a small car at, say 1/4 MPH, and it would have relatively little momentum.
However a train traveling at the same 1/4 MPH would still have a lot of momentum.

State and explain the law of conservation of momentum?
The law of conservation of momentum is Newton's 3rd law' The vectors sum to zero: 0 = F1 + F2 = dp1/dt + dp2/dt = d(p1 + p2)/dt =0. Thus, p1 + p2 = a constant, thus, the conservation of momentum.
Does the p in p mv mean position?
No it does not. It represents momentum.
Momentum of a system is conserved only when?
When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.
When objects collide the totol inital momentum equals the total final momentum is what?
law of conservation of momentum
How does velocity affect momentum?
if velocity increases, so does momentum. and vice versa momentum = mass x velocity increasing mass or velocity or both will increase momentum
How does momentum of an object affect its motion?
Because high and low momentum = high and low acceleration because it depends. =]
An example of momentum?
Momentum is motion. When a car is moving it is exhibiting momentum. A young professional getting promotions is experiencing momentum.
How is momentum related to energy?
Momentum would be an example of kenetic energy.
What is and example of conservation of momentum?
In an isolated system the total momentum of a system remains conserved. For example If you fire a bullet from Gun , bullet go forward with some linear momentum and in order to conserve the linear momentum the gun recoils
What is an example of an event when momentum is not conserved?
No, there has not been a single violation of the law of conservation of momentum.
What is a example of a momentum of zero?
An object at rest. Actually that's the only possible example for a single object. For two objects, you can have objects moving in opposite directions; for example, one may have a momentum of +100 units, and the other, a momentum of -100 units.
Is an example of conservation of momentum?
Elastic collision.
What is the applications of angular momentum?
when we churn and make out butter milk out of curd, here we apply angular momentum ceiling fan is another example of angular momentum
What is the best example of transfer of momentum?
In an isolated system the total momentum of a system remains conserved. For example If you fire a bullet from Gun , bullet go forward with some linear momentum and in order to conserve the linear momentum the gun recoils
How can a slowly docking boat and a speeding rifle bullet both have a large amount of momentum?
Momentum = mass * Velocity. Boat has large mass but low velocityBullet has small mass but high velocity.Momentum is a function of speed and mass. A slowly docking boat has a low speed, but the boat will have huge mass, therefore the momentum will be a large amount. The bullet has very low mass, but huge speed, and so, again, the momentum will be large.
When you increase the velocity on your skateboard it is harder to stop This is an example of?
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.
