Certainly it does. My question is why wouldn't mass affect momentum? Let us consider a Baseball versus a Bowling ball, rolling towards each other on a level floor. Now knowing that mass affects momentum, you can predict that when the bowling ball and the baseball collide, that the baseballs trajectory will be changed far greater than the trajectory of the bowling ball.
In other words, the bowling ball is hardly affected by the collision, because it is so much more massive than the baseball, thus carrying more momentum and having very little change in its direction after the collision, as opposed to the baseball being sent in a completely opposite direction of which it was rolling before the collision.
What else can I help you with?
When kinetic energy doubled what happens to momentum?
If kinetic energy is doubled, the momentum will remain the same. Kinetic energy and momentum are related, but momentum depends on mass and velocity while kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity squared. Therefore, doubling kinetic energy will not affect momentum.
Would a larger mass moving slowly have the least momentum?
No, momentum is given by the product of an object's mass and its velocity, so a larger mass moving slowly could still have significant momentum. Momentum depends on both mass and velocity, so even if an object is moving slowly, a large mass can still have considerable momentum.
What is the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity?
The product of an object's mass and velocity is known as momentum. Momentum is defined as mass times velocity and is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. It is often denoted by the symbol "p."
Which two factors determine momentum a. mass velocity b. force mass c. mass acceleration i. velocity and gravity?
Mass and velocity determine momentum, because mass multiplied by velocity equals momentum. in which there r few different cases like i. whether the atom is getting effected by surrondings . ii. or its not getting effected by its. surrondings (ideal case) and accordingly momentum values (momentum in case(i.) will be less comparitive case(ii.) :)
What is the product of an object mass and velosity?
The product of an object's mass and velocity is its momentum. Momentum is a vector quantity that describes the quantity of motion of an object and is given by the product of its mass and velocity.
What are two things that affect momentum?
The mass and velocity of an object are two factors that affect its momentum. An object with higher mass or greater velocity will have greater momentum.
How velocity affect momentum?
if velocity increases, so does momentum. and vice versa momentum = mass x velocity increasing mass or velocity or both will increase momentum
What factors affect momentum?
force and acceleration
What affect momentum?
force and acceleration
Which two things affect an object's momentum?
An object's momentum is affected by its mass and velocity. The momentum of an object increases as either its mass or velocity increases.
What are two factors affect the rate of momentum?
The rate of momentum is affected by the mass of an object and the velocity at which it is moving. An object with more mass or higher velocity will have a greater momentum.
How does velocity affect momentum?
if velocity increases, so does momentum. and vice versa momentum = mass x velocity increasing mass or velocity or both will increase momentum
What effect does mass of the object have on its momentum?
Yes, mass will affect momentum in a collision or in anything else. Any object with mass and non-zero velocity will have momentum. Mass is directly proportional to momentum. Double the mass of an object moving with a given velocity and the momentum doubles.
What affects two things affect momentum?
The momentum of an object is affected by its mass and velocity. Momentum is directly proportional to both mass and velocity, so an increase in either will result in an increase in momentum, and vice versa.
What are the 2 factors that effect an objects momentum?
The two factors that affect an object's momentum are its mass and its velocity. Momentum is calculated as the product of an object's mass and its velocity, so changes in either of these factors will impact the momentum of the object.
How can you change the amount of momentum an object has?
You can change the amount of momentum an object has by changing its mass, velocity, or direction of motion. Increasing the object's mass or velocity will increase its momentum, while changing its direction will affect the direction of its momentum.
How do the mass and velocity of a moving object affects its momentum?
As the velocity decreases, the momentum increases. Mass is the matter inside of something and momentum is how hard it is to stop something. Therefore momentum needs mass to function because without mass there would be no momentum. So think of the sentence above like this: velocity ( a measure of momentum) decreases, the momentum (including mass inside an object) goes up therefore making the mass increase while the velocity decreases.
