Answer #1:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its movement

or motion. Momentum on the other hand, is the quantity of motion of an

object that is a product of its mass and velocity.

====================================

Answer #2:

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 M V2kg-m2/s2 (Newton-meter = Joule)

Momentum = M V kg-m/s (Newton-second)

Numerical Difference = (1/2 M V2) - (M V) = (M V) x (1/2V -1) .

Kinetic Energy = KE = (mv^2)/2

momentum = P = mv

---

Any object contain kinetic energy. This energy increases by momentum.

If you hold a bullet, then it has got kinetic energy.

When you drop it to the ground, this kinetic energy is released.

By shooting the bullet out with a gun, the momentum increases the bullets kinetic energy drastically.

It is in a way not the bullet that kills. it is the momentum of it that makes it a killer.

Kinetic energy is the energy created by movement. Momentum is the power that something gains through movement i.e pushing off the ground builds momentum. The movement of a ball rolling down a hill creates kinetic energy.

Both depend on velocity; both depend on mass.

Which factor provides kinetic energy of an electron?

Kinetic energy is another name for scalar energy. Kinetic energy is provided by the vector energy cmV=cP, the momentum energy. Momentum is a vector and Momentum energy cP is also a vector, a vector energy. This Momentum Energy gives the velocity V and speed v and thus the "kinetic energy". The electron vector energy is cmV=cP and and the scalar energy is vp ! it is clear that te sclar energy vp=mv2 is much smaller than the vector energy cVm. the so-called kinetic energy is vp/2 = 1/2 mv2. kinetic energy is a product of the vector energy cmV, no Velocity , no kinetic energy.


Why is radiant energy kinetic energy?

Light is made up of particles (called photons). They have both kinetic energy and momentum.


A collision in which the total momentum and kinetic energy remain constant?

Kinetic energy is only conserved if the collision is elastic. All other collisions will have some loss of kinetic energy even when momentum is conserved.


What is energy of motion?

The energy associated with motion is the momentum energy cmV = cP. This is a vector energy, as momentum is a vector and c the speed of light. Physics currently considers energy a scalar quantiy, Nature considers energy a Quaternion Quantity, the sum of a scalar and a vector. The Momentum Energy cP is the mysterious "Dark Energy" that pervades the Universe, and is the energy associated with motion.


Can 2 interacting objects have momentum but no kinetic energy?

no kinetic energy is basically "in motion", momentum is built upon speed, weight, and strength of a moving object. if you would like the definition of potential energy it is the ability or placement of an object before kinetic energy forms

Why do you need momentum with kinetic energy?

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Kinetic Energy is the product of mass and velocity squared. As you can see, since Kinetic Energy is derived from mass and velocity, and Momentum is derived from mass and velocity, you cannot have one without the other.

How does the kinetic energy of a body change if its momentum is halved?

Since momentum is proportional to the velocity, half the momentum means half the velocity (and therefore half the speed). And since kinetic energy is proportional to the SQUARE of the speed, half the speed means 1/4 the kinetic energy.
