As momentum of an object decreases what happens to the veocity?

An object that decreases its speed also decreases the magnitude of its velocity and decreases the magnitude of its momentum. Momentum is mass time velocity. Less velocity, less momentum. Technically, velocity is a vector and therefor momentum is a vector. One can speak of smaller or larger magnitudes of a vector, but not smaller and larger vectors because vectors have magnitude and direction. Speed is the magnitude of velocity.


A spaceship has a momentum of 20 000 kg-ms to the left and a mass of 500 kg What is the magnitude of its velocity?

momentum = mass x velocity, so velocity is momentum/mass. If the question asks for the magnitude then it's probably the absolute magnitude rather than a directional value (which would be negative as the space ship is heading to the left.


What is an example of an object with a small mass that has a large momentum?

That would depend on what you consider "large".The size of an object's momentum = (its mass) x (its speed).So, more mass and more speed result in more momentum.


A scooter is moving with a speed of 18 ms. Its mass is 20 kg. What is the magnitude of its momentum?

Momentum is just mass times velocity. We assume that given that you can do the arithmetic.


IF an objects veolicty is doubled its momentum is?

Use the symbols 'm' for the object's mass, and 'v' for its velocity. Momentum is defined as 'mv' = the product of the object's mass and velocity. If the velocity doubles, then the new momentum is 'm' times '2v' = 2mv = 2 times (mv). This is just double the original momentum. So you can see that the magnitude of momentum is directly proportional to the magnitude of velocity, provided the mass remains constant.

Why does a slow moving train have a large momentum?

Momentum = mass * velocity. The mass of a train is massive so it'll have a high momentum


Why does a slow-moving loaded truck and a speeding rifle bullet each have a large momentum?

Momentum is the product of velocity and mass.


How can a slowly docking boat and a speeding rifle bullet both have a large amount of momentum?

Momentum = mass * Velocity. Boat has large mass but low velocityBullet has small mass but high velocity.Momentum is a function of speed and mass. A slowly docking boat has a low speed, but the boat will have huge mass, therefore the momentum will be a large amount. The bullet has very low mass, but huge speed, and so, again, the momentum will be large.
