Can a smaller mass have as much momentum as a larger mass?
Yes, a smaller mass can have as much momentum as a larger mass if it is moving at a higher velocity. Momentum is calculated as mass multiplied by velocity, so even if the mass is smaller, a higher velocity can compensate for it.
How much momentum does an object have that is not moving?
Momentum is a scalar quantity dependent on mass and velocity. P (momentum) = mass x velocity. Since an object that is not moving has zero velocity, p = mass x zero, and thus p = 0 for all stationary objects.
How much momentum does a 500 kilograms mass have if its not moving?
"Momentum" is the product of mass x velocity. You can base your calculations on that.
A freight train rolls along a track with considerable momentum If it were to roll at the same speed but had twice as much mass it's momentum would be?
The momentum would be twice as much. Momentum is directly proportional to mass, so if the mass doubles while the speed remains the same, the momentum will also double.
Can a slower car have more momentum than a faster car?
Yes. The Formula for momentum is Momentum= Mass x Velocity. If the slower car has a larger mass, it will likely have a larger momentum.
How much did the thames barrier piers weigh?
5500kg

If an electron and a proton have the same momentum which has the higher speed?
The electron, because it has much less mass than the proton and momentum is the product of mass and speed.
A car and a train are traveling with the same velocitydo the two objects have the same momentum?
No, the car and the train would not have the same momentum. Momentum is mass times velocity, so even if they are traveling at the same speed, the train would typically have a much larger mass than the car, meaning that their momentums would be different.
How much momentum does an object at rest have?
An object at rest has zero momentum because momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity, and if the velocity is zero, then the momentum is also zero.
Can a tiny bullet have more momentum than a huge truck?
No, momentum is determined by both mass and velocity. Even though a bullet can have a very high velocity, the mass of a huge truck is much greater, resulting in greater momentum.
Which has greater momentum a car or a bike going at the same speed?
Momentum is calculated as the product of mass and velocity. Since a car typically has a much greater mass than a bike, even when both are moving at the same speed, the car will have greater momentum. Therefore, the car has greater momentum.
When a moving object with momentum collides with a stationery object what is the law of conservation of linear momentum?
Momentum is always conserved, so provided no pieces come off:initial momentum = final momentum (where momentum is mass*velocity)MU=MV+mv is the equation to be used, if m is very small, then V is roughly equal to U, that is that if the stationary object is very light compared to the moving one, the moving one doesn't change it's veocity very much and the smaller one moves at a similar speed. I m is bigger (like a wall), the moving mass can stop, or even reverse its motion.if energy is conserved, speed of separation = speed of approach (ie. U=v-V)I hope this was helpful to youI don't know if this is right! :o
