Best Answer

Yes

The equation for momentum is mass x velocity

So if you increase velocity the momentum increases

Object A strikes object B the momentum of object B increase what happens to the momentum of object A?

You can't think of momentum as simply "increasing" and "decreasing" - you have to consider momentum as a vector.If in a collision one object's momentum changes by a certain amount, call it "a", the momentum of the other object will change by the opposite amount, "-a" - both "a" and "-a" are vectors that add up to zero. If you consider only the magnitudes of the momentum, by conservation of energy the momenta can't both increase - but they can certainly both decrease, when objects collide head-on.


How can a supertanker have a huge momentum when it moves relatively slow?

When you gain speed, you also gain momentum, and that's why it takes a longer amount of time to stop or speed up.

What is true when the velocity and the acceleration of an object are in the same direction?

In that case, the object speeds up.


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.

If you are parking facing downhill you should always turn your front wheels towards the sidewalk. The force of a moving object is called momentum. The momentum of an object is proportional to?

Momentum if the force that makes an object maintain it's movement, once it has speeded up and even when trying to stop. (Not to be confused with Inertia.)


What determines how much an object speeds up of slows down?

Net force.
