Momentum is the product of mass x velocity. At zero velocity, momentum will also be zero.

What type of energy does a pebble sitting on the top of a mountain have?

The pebble has potential energy due to its position at a higher elevation. If the pebble were to roll down the mountain, the potential energy would be converted into kinetic energy as it moves.


Is picking up a boulder the same as picking up a pebble?

No, picking up a boulder is not the same as picking up a pebble. A boulder is much larger and heavier than a pebble, so it requires more strength and effort to lift. Additionally, the size and weight difference mean that the impact on your body is also greater when lifting a boulder compared to a pebble.


What is a small rock called?

The smallest type of rock is a pebble. A pebble can be made out of most rocks and is the size of a marble.


Describe why pebble and a shoe fall with different accelerations and speeds?

A pebble and a shoe fall at different speeds and accelerations because the shoe is generally heavier than a pebble. The pebble has less mass than the shoe, so it will fall slower, because there is less of a gravitational force on it. The shoe, however, being bigger and having more mass than the pebble, will fall faster and land harder because gravity has a stronger pull on it.


What is the relationship between velocity and inertia?

Newtons First Law of Motion states that an object with a given momentum will continue to posses that same momentum until the object is acted on by a force in which case it will undergo a change in momentum. Inertia is a measure of an objects tendency to resist a change in momentum. Massive bodies have a large inertia. If a massive body is in motion its momentum is given by the product of the mass and the velocity of that body. Newtons first law says that if a force acts on this body its momentum will change. But since the body has a large inertia this change is small. For example, if a small space pebble collides with a large asteroid that has a constant velocity and thus constant momentum, the force is small relative to the inertia of the asteroid so the momentum only changes a little bit.

How can we find the volume of a small pebble with the help of measuring cylinder?

To find the volume of a small pebble using a measuring cylinder, you would first fill the measuring cylinder with a known amount of water. Next, carefully drop the pebble into the water and measure the new water level. The difference between the initial and final water levels represents the volume of the pebble displaced, which is equal to the volume of the pebble itself.


What is the smallest earthquake that ever hit?

One of the smallest earthquakes resulted from a grain of sand rolling off a pebble and striking the ground.


What might happen to a pebble plant in the heat of the sun if it had a large flat surface with a thin body?

The Surface Area of the Pebble plant that is exposed to the Sun will be greater and will become too hot; hence the pebble plant will lose lots of it's water.


What is greater 1.17 or 1.5?

Oh, dude, it's like super obvious! 1.5 is greater than 1.17. It's like comparing a tiny pebble to a slightly bigger pebble. So yeah, 1.5 takes the cake in this thrilling battle of numbers.

Why do the fishes become restless when you drop a pebble into the aquarium?

The pressure waves of the pebble hitting the water and falling through it are felt by the fish through their lateral line. It's roughly analogous to sitting in your living room and momentarily feeling a sharp draft.
