Momentum = Mass x Velocity. (p=m*v)
The mass of an object made of matter can not be zero.
If the object (car) is moving, then the velocity will be non-zero, and the object will have non-zero momentum.
So, if you are driving or rolling the car, it has momentum.
If it is parked, then it will have 0 velocity (with respect to the earth), and thus will have 0 momentum.
So, when the car is moving, it has net momentum. When it is parked it has zero momentum. I then just becomes a mater of semantics whether having zero momentum is equivalent to not having momentum, or if it is actually a valid value for momentum or state of momentum.

∙ 6y agoMomentum = mass x velocity. If one of the two quantities is zero, then the momentum is, of course, also zero.

Does the mass of the car effect the speed?
A cars weight affects its speed by varying its momentum. If the car has more weight, it has more momentum. With more momentum comes more inertia.(definition: inertia- an objects resistance to change in direction or movement) If the car has a lot of weight, it will speed up slower and stop slower because the cars inertia and momentum keep propelling it forward. If a car has less weight, it will speed up faster and stop faster because the momentum of the car is less than that of the heavier car. A: It is called the power to weight ratio.
What is an example of low momentum?
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.
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
Can a slower car have more momentum than a faster car?
Yes. The Formula for momentum is Momentum= Mass x Velocity. If the slower car has a larger mass, it will likely have a larger momentum.
If you drop a suitcase out of a car what happens to the cars momentum?
If you drop a suitcase out of a moving car, the momentum of the car will decrease as there will be less mass, therefore less momentum. :)
Why does a person without a seat belt continue moving in a car accident?
Momentum! Car has momentum before an accident, this momentum is transferred to the person after the car has made an abrupt stop (accident).
An example of momentum?
Momentum is motion. When a car is moving it is exhibiting momentum. A young professional getting promotions is experiencing momentum.
What has greater momentum a car standing still or a bug fyling?
Assuming that both the stationary car and the flying bug can be analyzed against the same reference point, the bug has the greater momentum. Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. If the car exhibits no motion, then its momentum is zero. Since the bug is flying, it has nonzero velocity and a nonzero momentum, which is greater than the car's momentum.
When a toy truck collides into a toy car the momentum of the what is the same before and after the collision?
The total momentum of the system doesn't change. In this case, it refers to the momentum of the toy truck plus the momentum of the toy car.
What is the momentum of an 800kg car traveling at 20 m s?
what is the momentum of a 800kg car travelling at 20m/s
If A moving bumper car hits the back bumper of a stationary bumper car the momentum of the stationary car increases what happens to the momentum of the moving bumper car?
it stays the same
A moving bumper car hits the back bumper of a stationary bumper car The momentum of the stationary car increases Which happens to the momentum of the moving bumper car?
It stays the same
What make the car go when you push the car?
Force and momentum
what is the momentum of a 1400kg car traveling at 25 m/s?
The momentum of a 1400 kg car traveling at 25 m/s is: momentum = mass x velocity momentum = 1400 kg x 25 m/s momentum = 35,000 kg m/s Therefore, the momentum of the 1400 kg car traveling at 25 m/s is 35,000 kg m/s
Does a truck have more momentum than a car?
Yes. At the same velocity, a truck would have more momentum than a car as it has greater mass. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity: ρ=mv
