NO .Momentum has some potential to do work where as speed is only the rate of action or travel. For example if a car is switched off while speeeding itwill still continue to run for some time due to momentum. Speed by itself has no energy for doing work Momentum is in fact defined as mass x velocity, and will be conserved in an elastic collision.

∙ 16y agospeed is simply how fast something is moving it is measure in metres per second.
momentum is velocity (speed in a specific direction) times the mass of the object it is measured in kilograms times mass per second.

∙ 8y agoMomentum is calculated by Mass * Velocity (Speed is the magnitude of Velocity). If velocity increases and mass remains constant, Momentum (measured in kg m/s) increases and if velocity decreases, momentum decreases.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoMomentum is directly dependant on speed and mass. Depending what is the mass of the object and what speed it carries, bigger mass n higher speed carries huge momentum

∙ 8y agoMomentum is the product of velocity and mass. Velocity is related to speed (the speed, with a specification of a direction).

What is a momentum of an object of mass 'm' moving the velocity v?
Momentum is mass times velocity. Note that velocity and speed are not exactly the same thing. Velocity is a term used in physics to define both the speed and the direction of a moving object, so if two objects are moving at the same speed but in opposite directions, they have opposite momentum.
When the mass of a moving object is doubled and its speed remains the same its momentum?
If the mass is doubled,speed should be halved to conserve momentum.
A car and a train are traveling with the same velocitydo the two objects have the same momentum?
No, the train has MUCH more mass and momentum is mass times speed.
Will two cars of different engine capacities maintain the same momentum if driving at the same speed?
Momentum is velocity times mass, so, in order for two cars to have the same momentum at the same velocity, they must have the same mass. Engine capacity has nothing do do with the equation.
When comparing the momentum of a bus filled with fuel and people and a small car both travelling at the same speed which one has more momentum?
The bus has more momentum. Momentum is velocity times mass, if both vehicles are travelling at the same speed then they have the same velocity, but the bus full of people will have more mass. Therefore the mass component of the bus in the equation will be higher than that of the car, giving a higher overall momentum.
Did the catcher and ball together have the same speed as the ball alone after colliding?
No. The thing that is the same before and after the collision is the total momentum.

Momentum is mass times velocity. Note that velocity and speed are not exactly the same thing. Velocity is a term used in physics to define both the speed and the direction of a moving object, so if two objects are moving at the same speed but in opposite directions, they have opposite momentum.

Could elephant have the same momentum as a golf ball?
this question has the theoritical answer but it is not yet practically done. according to the theortical answer """"""""yes! elephant have the same momentum as a Golf ball<<<<<<<<< Actually, elephants can have the same momentum as a golf ball. the equation for momentum is m x v2. m is mass, v is speed, and the two represents "speed squared". If the golf ball has a huge speed, then yes, it can have the same momentum as the elephant.
How can two people run at the same speed but have a different momentum?
Yes. Momentum is soley based on mass
If an electron and a proton have the same momentum which has the higher speed?
The electron, because it has much less mass than the proton and momentum is the product of mass and speed.
Which car has the greatest momentum a bigger one or smaller one?
If they're both going the same speed, then the bigger one has the greater momentum. If they're not going the same speed, then you don't know, because the momentum involves the speed as well as the mass. If the smaller one is going fast enough, it could have more momentum than the bigger one.
What happens to the momentum when the mass increases and speed stays the same?
It increases
A car and a train are traveling with the same velocitydo the two objects have the same momentum?
No, the train has MUCH more mass and momentum is mass times speed.
What does momentum have to do withe volleyball?
with out momentum the volleyball wouldn't travel, eg: when you throw the ball it carrys momentum through the air, but as soon as force isn't applyed to keep the ball traveling at the same speed, it will loose speed (momentum) and drop to the ground.

Momentum is velocity times mass, so, in order for two cars to have the same momentum at the same velocity, they must have the same mass. Engine capacity has nothing do do with the equation.
