Momentum is simply velocity times mass. Since you will presumably want the result in SI units, you must first convert the 36 km/hour into meters per second. Then just multiply.

Are momentum and speed the same thing?

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.


What is the mass of an object moving at 4 miles a second that has the same momentum?

4 miles per second is 6437.376m per second. Momentum is mass x velocity so mass = momentum ÷ velocity mass = momentum ÷ 6437.376 Of course, if you had given us the whole question it would have helped.


Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 200 kg. Spaceship 1 has a speed of 0 ms and Spaceship 2 has a speed of 10 ms. What is the magnitude of their combined momentum?

Momentum = mass x speedSince Spaceship-#1 is not moving, it has no momentum. Their combined momentumis that of Spaceship-#2 alone.Momentum = mass x speed = 200 x 10 = 2,000 kilogram-meters per second.


If a plane is moving at 250 miles and has A MASS of 1000 kg what is the momentum?

A plane doesn't move "at 250 miles"; probably you mean "miles per hour". Convert that to meter/second, then multiply the mass with the speed.


How do you calculate speed and momentum?

Speed is defined as distance travelled per unit of time (for example, miles per hour, or kilometers per hour, feet per second, etc.). Momentum is mass times velocity. Velocity is not exactly the same thing as speed; it is the speed plus the direction. That way, two objects that are moving in the opposite direction have opposite momentum, and when the collide, the momentum can cancel (if they don't bounce apart) rather than adding up to twice the momentum. Actual calculations of these sorts of problems involves calculus, because speed and momentum can change continuously, so you need a mathematical system that is designed to deal with that kind of change.

What is the momentum of a 0.1kg mass moving with a speed of 5 meters per second?

Momentum = (mass) x (speed) = (0.1) x (5) = 0.5 kilogram-meter per second


What has more momentum a car with a speed of 20 kmh or a car moving at 100 kmh?

The magnitude of momentum is directly proportional to speed. A car moving at 100 km per hr has 5 times as much momentum as a car with equal mass moving at 20 km per hr has.

Is momentum in m per s?

No. m per s is speed. Multiply it by a mass, such as kg, and you have momentum.


Which if either has greater momentum a 1 kg ball moving at 2 meters per second or a 2 kg ball moving at 1 meters per second?

Momentum = (mass) x (speed) (1 x 2) = (2 x 1). Their momenta are equal.


What is the momentum of a 30 kg cart moving with a speed of 10 meters per second?

The momentum is given by the formula... p=mv p=momentum m=mass v=velocity In your question your mass is 30kg and your velocity is 10m/s just do simple math and your momentum is 300kg*m/s


What is the mass of an object moving at 4 miles a second that has the same momentum?

4 miles per second is 6437.376m per second. Momentum is mass x velocity so mass = momentum ÷ velocity mass = momentum ÷ 6437.376 Of course, if you had given us the whole question it would have helped.


What is the relationship between momentum and mass?

The more the mass, the more momentum you will need for an object to speed up more, or accelerate.


The Momentum of a 7.3 kg shot is 22 kg m/s What is the Velocity?

|Momentum| = (mass) times |velocity| = mass x speed22 = 7.3 (Speed)Speed = 22/7.3 = 3.0137 meters per second. (rounded)Since we don't know anything about the direction in which the shot is moving,we can only find its speed, not its velocity.


Which car has more momentum a car with the speed of 20 km per h or a car moving at 100 km per h?

Momentum = mass * velocity. If both cars have the same mass, then the faster one will have more momentum. Probably the slow car doesn't weigh 5 times as much as the fast one, so the fast one most likely has more momentum.


Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 200 kg. Spaceship 1 has a speed of 0 ms and Spaceship 2 has a speed of 10 ms. What is the magnitude of their combined momentum?

Momentum = mass x speedSince Spaceship-#1 is not moving, it has no momentum. Their combined momentumis that of Spaceship-#2 alone.Momentum = mass x speed = 200 x 10 = 2,000 kilogram-meters per second.
