NO .Momentum has some potential to do work where as speed is only the rate of action or travel. For example if a car is switched off while speeeding itwill still continue to run for some time due to momentum. Speed by itself has no energy for doing work Momentum is in fact defined as mass x velocity, and will be conserved in an elastic collision.

When the mass of a moving object is doubled and its speed remains the same its momentum?

When the mass of a moving object is doubled and its speed remains the same, its momentum also doubles. Momentum is directly proportional to mass, so doubling the mass will result in a doubling of the momentum regardless of the speed.


How does speed effect momentum?

Speed directly affects momentum. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, so the faster an object is moving, the higher its momentum will be. This means that an object moving at a higher speed will have greater momentum compared to the same object moving at a lower speed.


Are impulse and momentum the same thing?

No, impulse and momentum are not the same thing. Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity, while impulse is the change in momentum of an object when a force is applied over a period of time. Impulse helps change an object's momentum.


Is the momentum of a car traveling south different from that of the same car when it travels north at the same speed?

No, since it's a vector quantity and has direction. The two automobiles will have the same absolute value, but will be the negation of one another, for example 50 and -50.


A freight train rolls along a track with considerable momentum If it were to roll at the same speed but had twice as much mass it's momentum would be?

The momentum would be twice as much. Momentum is directly proportional to mass, so if the mass doubles while the speed remains the same, the momentum will also double.

Did the catcher and ball together have the same speed as the ball alone after colliding?

No. The thing that is the same before and after the collision is the total momentum.

Could elephant have the same momentum as a golf ball?

this question has the theoritical answer but it is not yet practically done. according to the theortical answer """"""""yes! elephant have the same momentum as a Golf ball<<<<<<<<< Actually, elephants can have the same momentum as a golf ball. the equation for momentum is m x v2. m is mass, v is speed, and the two represents "speed squared". If the golf ball has a huge speed, then yes, it can have the same momentum as the elephant.

How can two people run at the same speed but have a different momentum?

Yes. Momentum is soley based on mass

The momentum would be twice as much. Momentum is directly proportional to mass, so if the mass doubles while the speed remains the same, the momentum will also double.


If an electron and a proton have the same momentum which has the higher speed?

The electron, because it has much less mass than the proton and momentum is the product of mass and speed.


What is A lunar vehicle is tested on the earth at a speed of 12km. when it travels at the same speed on the moon is its momentum greater less or the same?

The momentum of an object is calculated as the product of its mass and velocity (momentum = mass × velocity). While the lunar vehicle travels at the same speed of 12 km/h on the Moon as it does on Earth, its mass remains unchanged. However, since the gravitational pull on the Moon is less than on Earth, the vehicle's weight is reduced, but this does not affect its momentum. Therefore, the momentum of the vehicle will be the same on both the Earth and the Moon at that speed.


Which has greater momentum a car or a bike going at the same speed?

Momentum is calculated as the product of mass and velocity. Since a car typically has a much greater mass than a bike, even when both are moving at the same speed, the car will have greater momentum. Therefore, the car has greater momentum.


Which car has the greatest momentum a bigger one or smaller one?

If they're both going the same speed, then the bigger one has the greater momentum. If they're not going the same speed, then you don't know, because the momentum involves the speed as well as the mass. If the smaller one is going fast enough, it could have more momentum than the bigger one.
