What does waining mean?
"Waning" refers to the gradual decrease or decline in something, such as the moon's apparent size or a trend losing momentum.
What lies between mars and jupiter-?
Main asteroid beltThe asteroid belt
How do you use the word asteroid in a sentence?
the asteroid raced across from Mars to Jupiter
What is the name of the asteroid that had its own moon?
The first confirmed case of an asteroid orbiting another asteroid is the asteroid Ida which is orbited by a smaller asteroid orbiting it called Dactyl; other asteroid moons have been found since.
Use asteroid in a sentence?
It is amazing to be able to see an asteroid in a telescope.
How does a asteroid move through space?
momentum
If velocity decreases then does its momentum?
Momentum is the product of mass times velocity. With less velocity, there will be less momentum. (An object's mass will usually not change.)
How does the asteroid belt stay together and orbit the sun?
An asteroid orbits the sun for the same reason that a planet does; it has angular momentum. Asteroids generally remain in the asteroid belt because that is the orbit which their momentum gives them; if they had more momentum they would orbit farther from the sun, and if they had less momentum they would orbit closer to the sun (or fall into the sun, if their angular momentum were sufficiently low).
What will happen to the momentum of an object if the mass of an object is cut in half?
If the mass of an object is cut in half, the momentum of the object will also be halved. This is because momentum is directly proportional to mass, so a decrease in mass will result in a proportional decrease in 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. :)
What forces influence momentum?
The momentum of an object is influenced by its mass and velocity. Increasing the mass or speed of an object will increase its momentum, while decreasing either will decrease momentum. Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning both the direction and magnitude of an object's velocity impact its momentum.
Why does velocity stay constant with decreasing momentum?
As far as we can tell, it doesn't. Momentum is defined as (mass) times (velocity). There appear to be only two ways in which momentum can decrease: either the mass has to magically evaporate, or else the velocity has to decrease. Since mass conservation is a nearly fundamental law of nature, that leaves us with velocity as the only way to change the momentum of a moving body.
If the mass of an object decreases the momentum do what?
If the mass of an object decreases, the momentum of the object will also decrease, assuming the velocity remains constant. This is because momentum is directly proportional to mass; as mass decreases, momentum decreases.
Does every transfer decrease momentum a little?
No, not necessarily. The total momentum of a system is conserved if there are no external forces acting on it. During transfers, momentum can change between objects but the total momentum of the system remains the same.
What concept would you use to describe the asteroid's motion?
There's gravity, momentum, centripetal force, and friction involved.
What happens to the momentum of a body acted on by an external force?
If the force opposes the motion, it will reduce the velocity and the momentum of the body will decrease. If the force is in the direction of the motion, the velocity will increase and the momentum will increase.
How does a variation in mass effect momentum?
An increase in mass will result in a corresponding increase in momentum, assuming velocity remains constant. Momentum is directly proportional to mass, so any change in mass will impact momentum. Conversely, a decrease in mass will result in a reduction in momentum.
