Momentum = (mass) x (speed)
First, we need to know the apple's mass. We'll do that quickly, and not get hung up on it:
The apple's weight ... 2.2 N ... is M x G, and G = 9.8 m/s2.
So the apple's mass is 2.2/9.8 . Since it doesn't come out even, let's keep it in that form,
to avoid more rounding-error later. When we need the apple's mass, we'll just use 2.2/9.8 .
Now comes the important part. As we mentioned above, Momentum = (mass) x (speed).
When the apple is falling, it's speed is increasing by 9.8 meters per second every second.
That's exactly what the 'acceleration of gravity' means.
If the speed changes 9.8 meters per second each second, and momentum is
(mass) x (speed), then the momentum simply changes (mass) x 9.8 each second.
Momentum change = (2.2/9.8) x 9.8 = 2.2 kilogram meters per second .
Say! That number looks a lot like the apple's weight doesn't it!
Note: We also wound up not caring how long the apple spent falling.
The question asked "How much in each second ?", and that doesn't
depend on how long the experience lasts.
Momentum = mass x velocity 120 x 4 = 480 102 x 5 = 510
160 kilogram meters per second north
Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. Momentum= Mass x Velocity. When the object weighs 20kg and is traveling at 20m/s North it will have a momentum of 400kgm/s North.
momentum=velocity x mass say a golf ball weighs 1 pound and the bowling ball weighs 5 pounds the golf ball would have to be moving 5 times faster than the bowling ball to have the same momentum
Yes. Momentum is rigidly defined as the product of mass and velocity. Velocity describes both a speed and a direction. So let's take two metal balls. One weighs 10 kilograms (kg) and the other weighs 20kg. We roll the 10kg ball along a flat and level floor at 2 meters per second (m/s) and the 20 kg ball at 1 m/s. 10*2 = 20*1 so they have the same momentum. If you have a friend roll the balls for you to catch some distance away, making sure after a few tests to roll the lighter ball at twice the speed of the heavier ball, you will find that it "feels" as if both balls hit your hand with about the same force. Your hand is stopping each ball. That is a force which is defined as the rate of change in momentum. Stopping each ball will cause your muscles to exert about the same strength to stop each ball, even though one is moving at double the speed of the other. You will then feel that two objects can indeed travel at different speeds and yet have the same momentum. JGS

One bushel of apples weighs about 42 lbs.
A bushel of apples weighs about 45 pounds (or 19kg)
Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. Momentum= Mass x Velocity. When the object weighs 20kg and is traveling at 20m/s North it will have a momentum of 400kgm/s North.
250 apples
None. You never said 20lb sack actually had any apples in it. :)
As much as 3 apples.

Angular momentum is an expression of an objects mass and rotational speed. Momentem is the velocity of an object times its mass, or how fast something is moving times how much it weighs. Therefore angular momentum is the objects mass times the angular velocity where angular velocity is how fast something is rotating expressed in terms like revolutions per minute or radians per second or degrees per second.
If it weighs one kilogram on the moon, it will have about six times as many apples as a bag of 1 kilo apples on earth.
