Momentum = m v (mass, velocity). If either one is zero, momentum is zero. So in order to have momentum, an object must have both mass and speed, in the frame of reference.

How does an object with higher momentum move?

Momentum is the product of velocity and mass - so to have a "higher momentum", the object must either be more massive, or it must move faster.


An object that has linear momentum must also have?

Momentum. The formula for kinetic energy is: KE = .5 * m *v^2 The formula for momentum is: p = m * v If an object has kinetic energy, then both mass and velocity are non-zero, which implies that the momentum is also non-zero.


The momentum of an object depends on what two factors?

The momentum of an object depends on its mass and velocity. Momentum is calculated as the product of an object's mass and its velocity, and it is a vector quantity that indicates the quantity of motion an object has.


What must be exerted on an object to change the angular momentum?

A torque must be exerted on the object to change its angular momentum. Torque is the rotational equivalent of force and is required to cause an object to rotate or change its rate of rotation.


Does a still object have momentum?

yes , look at a moving car or a walking person


In order for a small object to have a large momentun the object needs to be stationary true or false?

False. Momentum is a product of an object's mass and velocity, so even if the object is small, it can have a large momentum if it has a high velocity. It doesn't need to be stationary to have a large momentum.


What does the impulse-momentum theorem state?

Impulse equals change in momentum. "Apex" The final momentum of any object (or collection of objects) must equal to its initial momentum plus any impulse imparted to the object (or collection of objects).


What is momentum the measure of?

If an object is at rest it has inertia, which has to be overcome to make it move. When an object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed it has momentum, which must be overcome to slow or stop the object


What do you need to know to determine momentum?

To find the momentum of an object you must know the mass of the object and the velocity at which it travels. Example: A 50kg man runs at 10m/s. What is his momentum? Momentum = Mass x Velocity 50 x 10 = 500 kgm/s


How can momentum be increased?

Momentum can be increased by increasing the mass or velocity of an object. This can be achieved by applying a force over a period of time, such as pushing or throwing an object. In a closed system, momentum is conserved, so if one object gains momentum, another object in the system must lose an equal amount of momentum.


If the momentum of an object changes and its mass stays the same what happens?

If the momentum of an object changes while its mass remains constant, then its velocity must have changed accordingly. This relationship is described by the equation momentum = mass x velocity. So, if momentum changes without a change in mass, then velocity must have changed.


If the momentum of an object changes and its mass remains constant?

If the momentum of an object changes and its mass remains constant, then there must have been a change in the object's velocity. This relationship is described by the formula: momentum = mass x velocity. Changing the velocity will result in a change in momentum.
