Many think the momentum would be lost but instead it is transferred. It was transferred to the Earth in a collision. But since the has a huge mass it will not affect the Earth.

A person jumping off a moving bus tends to fall forward?

This happens because the person retains the forward momentum from the bus when they jump off, causing them to fall forward due to inertia. Additionally, without the support of the bus underneath them, there is no external force to keep them upright.


If a person has a mass of 60 kg and velocity of 2 ms what is magnitude of his momentum?

The momentum of an object is given by the product of its mass and velocity. Thus, the magnitude of the person's momentum would be 120 kg·m/s (60 kg * 2 m/s).


How much momentum does and object have when it stops?

The Same! The statement above is true depending on what u mean. Think of it as a person running. While the person is running they have momentum ( momentum is mass times velocity). Now say they for some reason have to suddenly stop all at once, at the exact moment they stop the momentum is the same, this is why their body would jerk forward. However after that, when they were no longer moving, they would no longer have momentum, mathematically speaking that person's mass times their velocity of zero is then zero.


What happens to the flashlight when you point it towards someone and when you point it towards the ground?

When you point the flashlight towards someone, the light will illuminate the person. When you point it towards the ground, the light will reflect off the ground and create a pool of light at your feet.


If a person has a massof 60kg and the velocity of 2ms what is the magnitude of this momentum?

The momentum of an object is calculated by multiplying its mass by its velocity. In this case, the momentum would be 120 kg m/s (60 kg x 2 m/s).

What do you call the person that guides the planes to their landing?

The person who guides planes to their landing is called a "ground controller" or "air traffic controller." They are responsible for ensuring the safe and efficient movement of aircraft on the ground and in the airspace around airports. Ground controllers use radar and communication systems to provide instructions to pilots during landing and takeoff procedures.

Why does a person without a seat belt continue moving in a car accident?

Momentum! Car has momentum before an accident, this momentum is transferred to the person after the car has made an abrupt stop (accident).

What happens to the person in a car when car gets struck by lightning?

Nothing really happens to the person in a car when the vehicle gets struck by lightning as long as they remain in the car. Once a person touches a metallic part of the car and the ground at the same time, they run the risk of electrocution.

What is the momentum of an 80 kilogram person if they are running at 6 meters per second?

Momentum (p) = mass * velocity = 80 * 6 = 480 kg-m

Does a still object have momentum?

yes , look at a moving car or a walking person


What happens when a rocket stops pushing a person in space?

The momentum (given by the property of inertia) makes whatever was propelled by the rocket continue at the same velocity as before, until another force (like running into a planet) affects that object.
