What is the difference between a small momentum and a large momentum?

The larger the momentum, the harder it will be to stop it. Thus, the larger the force needed to decelarate the object. Since momentum is directly proportional to the velocity, the larger the momentum, the larger the velocity.


How do you find resultant velocity?

When you combine 2 velocities that are in the same directions, add them together to find the resultant velocity. When you combine 2 velocities that are in opposite directions, subtract the smaller velocity from the larger velocity to find the resultant velocity.


When a rifle with a longer barrel is fired the force of expanding gases acts on the bullet for a longer distance what effect does this have on the velocity?

To a point, the velocity of the bullet will increase. However, at some point, the gasses driving the bullet have maxed out, and beyond that point, the bullet will begin to slow from friction with the barrel. For a .22 LR cartridge, that length is about 12 inches. Larger cartridges have a greater "Max velocity" length, but there is a point of no more gain, and the start of loss of velocity.


How does mass affect velocity on cars?

The larger the mass a car effects the velocity in that you require a stronger engine to make it accelerate at the same speed of a lighter car. Having a higher mass, it will take longer for it accelerate as well as for it to decelerate. Two cars that collide that have the same velocity and masses will stop, while if ones mass his higher it will cause greater damage to the smaller one.


Does a larger sphere have a higher terminal velocity?

No it would have a lower terminal velocity as there would be more air resistance acting upon it

What is greater when the mass of an object is larger?

Among others, the following will be greater:* Its inertia * Its momentum (assuming the velocity doesn't change) * Its kinetic energy (assuming the velocity doesn't change) * The amount of particles (for the same material)

The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia


Will the moons beyond the orbit of callisto have larger or smaller periods than callisto?

If the further moons have the same velocity as Callisto, they will have longer orbital periods. However, if their velocity is greater, they may have shorter orbital periods.

How does the velocity of a stream effect its carring capacity?

The higher the velocity of the stream the larger carrying capacity it has.

Larger landmasses have greater diversity.


Why don't all rockets have fins like model rockets?

Fins are used to stabilize a rocket, so that it does not veer off course or tumble. However, most larger rockets do not use fins because of the atmospheric drag they create.
