What is a sentence using the law of conservation of momentum?

When two vehicles collide and come to a stop, the total momentum of the vehicles before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision, in accordance with the law of conservation of momentum.


Two identical cars are travelling along edsa having the same velocity .which of two vehicles would have greater momentum?

Both cars would have the same momentum since momentum depends on both mass and velocity, and in this case, the cars have the same velocity and mass. So, the momentum of both cars would be equal.


What must you know to determine which of two vehicles traveling at the same velocity has the greater momentum?

To determine which vehicle has the greater momentum, you need to know the mass of each vehicle. Momentum is defined as momentum = mass x velocity, so the vehicle with the greater mass will have the greater momentum. If the vehicles have the same mass, then they will have the same momentum.


The momentum of an object depends on its mass and what?

Velocity. It is the product of the two quantities.


How is momentum conserved in a vehicle collision?

That simply means that the total momentum before and after the crash is the same. Please bear in mind that momentum is a vector quantity. Thus, for example, one car moving at 20 m/s (that's 72 km/hour) north, and another car (same mass) that moves at 20 m/s south have a total momentum of zero, because of the way vectors are added.


Why it is hard to stop fast moving and heavy vehicles?

Momentum.


What happens to a vehicles momentum when it crashes into a wall?

it explodes and you die


Is a property of moving objects that depends on mass and velocity?

Momentum depends on mass and velocity.


If an object is thrown does it gain momentum or lose momentum?

When an object is thrown, it gains momentum. The momentum of the object depends on its mass and velocity. By throwing it with a certain force, the object gains momentum in the direction of its motion.


If two vehicles are traveling at the same velocity which one has the greater momentum?

The vehicle with the greater mass will have the greater momentum, as momentum is dependent on both velocity and mass.


When kinetic energy doubled what happens to momentum?

If kinetic energy is doubled, the momentum will remain the same. Kinetic energy and momentum are related, but momentum depends on mass and velocity while kinetic energy depends on mass and velocity squared. Therefore, doubling kinetic energy will not affect momentum.


Momentum of an object depends on it's what and what?

Velocity. It is the product of the two quantities.
