What else can I help you with?
If two different masses have the same kinetic energy their momenta is?
... different. Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, wherease momentum is proportional to the speed.
What happens different mass fall from same height?
Objects with different masses will fall to the ground at the same rate in the absence of air resistance, due to gravity being a constant force regardless of mass. However, objects with different masses will experience different forces due to inertia, momentum, and friction when they reach the ground.
Why do you need momentum?
Momentum is defined as the "Mass in Motion". It is a Vector quantity. It depends on two variables (Object Mass and Velocity) . Its direction is same as objects velocity direction. In physics momentum is required to specify the motion of the object . If two bodies of same masses having different velocities have different momentum , in a similar way bodies of different masses having same velocity have different momentum. So , in order to describe the motion of object clearly one of the tool in classical mechanics is momentum
How could two objects travailing at the same speed have different amounts of momentum?
Momentum is a vector and so obeys the laws of vector addition. These imply that the momentum of two two objects will be the sum of the individual momentum only if the objects are moving in the same direction.
How can two objects have equal impulse?
Two objects can have equal impulse if they experience the same force for the same amount of time. Impulse is the change in momentum of an object, and it can be the same for two objects with different masses if the force and time are adjusted accordingly.
If two objects have the same velocity do they have the same momentum?
No, because momentum depends on velocity and mass so they may have the same velocity but if they have different masses then they will have different momenta. (momenta is the plural form of momentum.)

How can object with different masses have the same momentum?
Momentum is not just mass. Momentum is the product of mass x velocity.

What happens when 2 objects collide and have different masses?
When two objects collide and have different masses, the object with greater mass will generally experience less acceleration and maintain more of its initial velocity. The object with lesser mass will typically experience a greater change in velocity and direction due to the impact. The conservation of momentum and kinetic energy are key principles that govern the outcome of collisions between objects with different masses.
How is it possible for objects to have the same volume but different masses?
Their masses are different. (Mass = density * volume)
If two objects have different masses they also would have different?
no
What are some conservation of momentum practice problems that can help me improve my understanding of this concept?
One example of a conservation of momentum practice problem is a collision between two objects of different masses moving at different velocities. By calculating the momentum before and after the collision, you can apply the principle of conservation of momentum to solve for unknown variables such as final velocities or masses. Another practice problem could involve an explosion where an object breaks into multiple pieces, requiring you to analyze the momentum of each piece to ensure that the total momentum remains constant. These types of problems can help you deepen your understanding of the conservation of momentum concept.
Can objects with different masses have the same momentum?
Yes. Momentum is rigidly defined as the product of mass and velocity. Velocity describes both a speed and a direction. So let's take two metal balls. One weighs 10 kilograms (kg) and the other weighs 20kg. We roll the 10kg ball along a flat and level floor at 2 meters per second (m/s) and the 20 kg ball at 1 m/s. 10*2 = 20*1 so they have the same momentum. If you have a friend roll the balls for you to catch some distance away, making sure after a few tests to roll the lighter ball at twice the speed of the heavier ball, you will find that it "feels" as if both balls hit your hand with about the same force. Your hand is stopping each ball. That is a force which is defined as the rate of change in momentum. Stopping each ball will cause your muscles to exert about the same strength to stop each ball, even though one is moving at double the speed of the other. You will then feel that two objects can indeed travel at different speeds and yet have the same momentum. JGS
