What else can I help you with?
If the velocity is constant does that mean that the impulse is the momentum?
No, constant velocity means there is no change in velocity over time. Impulse is the change in momentum, given by the force applied over a period of time. Momentum is mass times velocity, a vector quantity.
If the velocity is constant does that mean that there is no impulse?
Not necessarily. Impulse Fdt=change in momentum which could be written as mdv (constant mass, velocity changing) or dmv (changing mass, constant velocity - the so-called conveyor belt problem. Imagine a hopper filled with (say) coal is feeding the coal on to a conveyor belt. The mass of the belt increases with time, so a force has to be applied to it to keep it moving at constant velocity.
What does change in momentum mean?
It means that the momentum increases, decreases, or simply changes its direction. The latter is because momentum is a vector quantity (that is, the direction is relevant). Momentum is defined as the product of velocity and mass.
Formula for momentum?
Total change in momentum = zero (law of conservation of momentum). Also, a change in momentum is equal to the impulse, which is force x time . A formula is: d/dt (Mv) = F, which is one of Newton's laws of motion.
Do acceleration and momentum mean the same thing?
No, acceleration and momentum are not the same. Acceleration refers to the rate of change of an object's velocity, while momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. Acceleration measures how quickly an object's velocity is changing, while momentum is a property that depends on both an object's mass and how fast it is moving.

What does momentum of an object mean?
Momentum is the product of mass x velocity.

What does it mean to say momentum is directly proportional to mass and velocity?
Being proportional means that if you change one by a given factor, the other will change by that factor as well. Being proprtional to both means it is proportional to their product, i.e. momentum equals mass times velocity, p = mv.
How do you find the momentum with no velocity?
It is unclear what you mean. If you mean that you want to find momentum but do not have a value for velocity then it depends on what physical system you are using. If you want to find the momentum of an object with a velocity equal to zero then the momentum is zero. Answer2. You can find the momentum from its the integral of its force impulse fdt = d(mv). The momentum is mv= integral of fdt.
What does conversation of momentum mean?
Conservation of momentum is a fundamental principle in physics that states the total linear momentum of an isolated system remains constant if no external forces act on it. This means that in a closed system, the total momentum before an event must equal the total momentum after the event. It is commonly used to analyze collisions and explosions.
If the speed of an does NOT change the object is traveling at a what?
It is travelling at a constant speed. This does not mean that there is no acceleration or that the direction of motion remains the same.
What does momentum mean in science?
Momentum of a body is got by the product of its mass and velocity. If the concerned body is at rest then momentum is ZERO. If m is the mass and v is the velocity then mv is the momentum. Momentum is a vector quantity. Its unit is kg m/s
What does it mean when an object is traveling with a constant velocity?
It means that the velocity doesn't change over time. It's speed is always the same, and it moves in a straight line.
