Gravity and mass are a direct modifier and multiplier and can contribute to a stationary collision point after the collision has taken place. The materials the vehicle is made of can also effect the collision point by which materials effect the mass of the moving object during impact.

How does the mass of an object affect its collision?

The mass of an object affects its collision by determining how much momentum it has. In a collision, the momentum of each object before and after the collision must be conserved. Objects with a greater mass will have more momentum, which can result in different outcomes during a collision, such as how the objects move or if they bounce off each other.


What changes when you change the mass of a moving object?

Quantities which depend on the mass of an object are its momentum, and kinetic energy.Both change if the mass changes. In addition, if the object's volume doesn't change,then its density also changes.


What three factors can affect force of impact.in driving?

Speed of vehicle, mass of the vehicle, and nature of the collision (e.g. head-on, rear-end) can all affect the force of impact in driving.


How do different surfaces affect the change of momentum for different types of balls and What are the factors affecting the momentum of different objects during collision an How is momentum conserved?

Different surfaces affect the change of momentum by influencing the coefficient of restitution, which determines how much kinetic energy is conserved during a collision. Factors affecting momentum during collisions include mass, velocity, and angle of collision. Momentum is conserved in collisions because there is no external force acting on the system, so the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.


If two toy cars of the same mass are moving from the opposite directions will they collide at a half way point and what will happen after the collision?

Yes, if two toy cars of the same mass are moving towards each other, they will collide at the halfway point. After the collision, their velocities will change according to the principles of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy. The cars will bounce off each other in opposite directions, with the total momentum remaining the same before and after the collision.

How does the addition of mass affect what happen to the cars after the collision?

The added mass causes more damage to the chassis. The Chassis has to absorb the kinetic energy. Where the mass is located in the vehicle can cause the car to spin in a certain direction or even flip.


How does mass of an object affect the force it applies during a collision?

The affect of force on the object during collision is described by a quantity called momentum. It is defined as p = mv where = p is momentum, m = mass of the object and v is velocity.

Does mass affect freezing point?

Well, I did an experiment in class on this question. We used different amounts lauric acid and it turned out that the freezing point was pretty much the same for all the samples. So, in all, the freezing point does not depend on the mass of a substance.

Will two cars traveling at the same speed come to rest at the point of impact in a frontal collision?

In general, they will not. Remember that momentum must be conserved, and momentum is the product of mass x velocity. If the cars happen to have the same mass, as well as the same speed, then their combined momentum will indeed be zero. But if one of the cars has a larger mass, their total momentum before the collision will NOT be zero, so the combined cars (after the crash) will continue moving for a while, until slowed down by friction.


What is the momentum of the system after the collision occurred?

The momentum of the system after the collision is the total mass of the objects multiplied by their combined velocity.


How does oxides affect airon mass?

Oxides, like rust (iron oxide), can increase the mass of iron due to the addition of oxygen atoms from the oxide molecules. This increase in mass occurs because of the combination of iron with the oxygen in the oxide.


What two factors affect how much GPE an object has?

The two factors that affect how much gravitational potential energy (GPE) an object has are its mass and its height above the reference point where GPE is defined. The higher the object is positioned above the reference point and the greater its mass, the more GPE it will possess.
