Mass and velocity determine momentum, because mass multiplied by velocity equals momentum.
in which there r few different cases like
i. whether the atom is getting effected by surrondings .
ii. or its not getting effected by its. surrondings (ideal case)
and accordingly momentum values
(momentum in case(i.) will be less comparitive case(ii.) :)

What 2 factors determine the shape of a snow crystal?
gravity and acceleration due to it or a friction in air which cause its uniform velocity
What two factors determine the kinetic energy of moving object?
velocity and mass
What two factors does acceleration depend on?
-- the magnitude and direction of the force acting on an object -- the mass of the object being forcefully acted upon
Can potential energy ever be less than kinetic energy?
The answer to both of your questions lies in the different nature of both quantities, momentum and kinetic energy. Momentum is a vector, kinetic energy is a scalar. This means that momentum has a magnitude and a direction, while kinetic energy just has a magnitude. Consider the following system: 2 balls with equal mass are rolling with the same speed to each other. Magnitude of their velocities is the same, but the directions of their velocities are opposed. What can we say about the total momentum of this system of two balls? The total momentum is the sum of the momentum of each ball. Since masses are equal, magnitudes of velocities are equal, but direction of motion is opposed, the total momentum of the system of two balls equals zero. Conclusion: the system has zero momentum. What can we say about the total kinetic energy of this system? Since the kinetic energy does not take into account the direction of the motion, and since both balls are moving, the kinetic energy of the system will be different from zero and equals to the scalar sum of the kinetic energies of both balls. Conclusion: we have a system with zero momentum, but non-zero kinetic energy. Assume now that we lower the magnitude of the velocity of one of the balls, but keep the direction of motion. The result is that we lower the total kinetic energy of the system, since one of the balls has less kinetic energy than before. When we look to the total momentum of the new system, we observe that the system has gained netto momentum. The momentum of the first ball does not longer neutralize the momentum of the second ball, since the magnitudes of both velocities are not longer equal. Conclusion: the second system has less kinetic energy than the first, but has more momentum. If we go back from system 2 to system 1 we have an example of having more kinetic energy, but less momentum. I hope this answers your question Kjell
How are meteors measured?
Size, speed, chemical make-up, and place of impact. All of these components help determine the damage that will be caused or was caused by an asteroid or metoeroid. Size and speed will determine the momentum, while chemical make-up and place of impact will determine how much damage is done. The size of the crater is determined using all of these factors.
What are the two factors which determine the momentum of a body?
Momentum depends on the mass and the velocity of an object. In physics, P=mv, momentum equals mass times velocity.
