When ever an object is standing still the momentum is?

When an object is still it has no momentum. That is, the momentum is zero.


If an object is still does it have momentum?

No, momentum is the product of mass and velocity, so if the velocity is zero, so is the momentum.


What are some true statements about momentum?

Momentum can be transferred from one object to another. Momentum can be slowed by an intervening object. Momentum can be hastened by an intervening object.


The product of an object mass and velocity is called its What?

That's the object's linear momentum.


The momentum of an object depends on what two forces?

The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two variables: how much stuff is moving and how fast the stuff is moving. Momentum depends upon the variables mass and velocity. In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object.


The momentum of a falling leaf is and the momentum of a falling pincone is what?

momentum is equal to the mass of an object x velocity of an object


What is the product of an object and the object's mass and velocity?

That's the object's linear momentum.


The product of an object's mass and velocity?

The product of an object's mass and velocity is called it's momentum. It is mostly called it's linear momentum to differentiate from the term angular momentum.


Is it true that an object never loses its momentum?

Momentum is related to velocity and mass. When an object's velocity is zero relative to its surroundings, it has no momentum. Therefore it is untrue to say that an object never looses its momentum.


Object A strikes object B the momentum of object B increase what happens to the momentum of object A?

You can't think of momentum as simply "increasing" and "decreasing" - you have to consider momentum as a vector.If in a collision one object's momentum changes by a certain amount, call it "a", the momentum of the other object will change by the opposite amount, "-a" - both "a" and "-a" are vectors that add up to zero. If you consider only the magnitudes of the momentum, by conservation of energy the momenta can't both increase - but they can certainly both decrease, when objects collide head-on.


Why an object will move if its velocity is constant?

Momentum. If an object has constant velocity, the object will move because it has momentum. Momentum tends to stay the same unless changed by a force.


What is the law of concervation for momentum?

The law of conservation of momentum (for example linear momentum), says that if no external forces act on a body or if the sum of all external forces on the body is zero, then its momentum remains constant. This means that if I don't push an object that in its initial state stands still, than this object will remain still. And then again: if I don't exert a force (push or pull etc.) upon an object that moves with a constant speed, then its speed will remain constant.
