What you expect to have the least momentum?
a small mass moving slowly
Would a large mass moving slowly have more or less momentum than a small mass moving slowly?
A large mass moving slowly would have more momentum than a small mass moving slowly because momentum is a product of mass and velocity. Even if both masses are moving at the same speed, the larger mass would still have more momentum due to its greater mass.
When could a small object have the same momentum as a large object?
Yes. Momentum is based on mass and velocity, not physical size. 1 kg of styrofoam moving at 100 m/s has the same momentum as 1 kg of gold moving at 100 m/s, but the piece of styrofoam will be over 1000 times the size. Additionally, since the formula for momentum is mass times velocity, a 10 kg piece of gold moving at 10 m/s has the same momentum as a 1 kg piece of gold moving at 100 m/s. They both have a momentum of 100 kg-m/s.
What is the difference between a small momentum and a large momentum?
The larger the momentum, the harder it will be to stop it. Thus, the larger the force needed to decelarate the object. Since momentum is directly proportional to the velocity, the larger the momentum, the larger the velocity.
Have the least momentum?
An object with the least momentum would be one that is either stationary or moving very slowly. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity, so an object with a small mass and low speed would have the least momentum.
Which has more momentum a large truck moving at 30 miles per hour or a small truck moving at 30 miles per hour?
The large truck moving at 30 miles per hour will have more momentum because momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and velocity. Since the large truck has more mass than the small truck, it will have more momentum at the same speed.
What would you expect to have the least momentum?
An object with a small mass and low velocity would have the least momentum. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity, so a combination of low mass and low velocity would result in the least momentum.
Which has more momentum a large truck moving 30 miles per hour or a small truck moving at miles per hour?
To determine which truck has more momentum, we need to consider both mass and velocity. Momentum is calculated as the product of mass and velocity (momentum = mass × velocity). If the large truck has a significantly greater mass than the small truck, even at 30 miles per hour, it is likely to have more momentum than the smaller truck moving at a different speed. Without knowing the speed of the small truck, we cannot make a definitive comparison.
Does a rock by the side of the road have momentum?
Since the Earth is rotating, and moving through space, and the rock is moving along with the Earth, then it does, but relative to the Earth, I'd say that the momentum of the rock (mass * velocity) is essentially zero.
What is moving in an ocean wave?
Momentum is being transferred, so momentum is moving. Water molecules follow a small more or less circular path in the deep ocean, with definite linear components as the wave comes ashore.
What are some examples of momentum?
Momentum is speed or force of movement and it is defined as moving body. Momentum must have both mass and velocity. Examples of momentum include if a car and big truck are rolling down a hill, the truck will roll faster. A bullet has a lot of momentum with a small mass.
Why does a slow-moving loaded truck and a speeding rifle bullet each have a large momentum?
Both the loaded truck and the rifle bullet have large momentum because momentum depends on both mass and velocity. Even though the truck is moving slowly but has a large mass, and the rifle bullet is moving very fast with a relatively small mass, both contribute to their large momentum values.
