Equation to find momentum?
Momentum is the product of Mass times Velocity Momentum = MV
What is Mass times distance divided by time?
Momentum. Distance divided by time is speed. Mass times speed is momentum.
What is the momentum of someone running at the speed of 4 ms?
Momentum is mass times velocity. What is the mass of someone?
What is the equation you use to determine the momentum of an object?
momentum is described as mass times velocity. p=mv.
What is the formula to calculate momentum?
Momentum (p) is mass (m) times velocity (v), so p = mv
Does Crash severity increases with the speed of the vehicle at impact?
Yes, all things being equal, crash severity does increase proportional to the speed of each vehicle at impact, and is a vector sum. So, there is a big difference between crash severity at impact from being "rear-ended" (when one vehicle is traveling the same direction as another, and impacts the front of their vehicle with the rear of another) and a "head-on" impact (two cars traveling into one another, impacting both front bumpers). In the rear-end impact, you take the momentum (mass times velocity) of the rear, impacting vehicle "A" and subtract the momentum of the front-most impacted vehicle "B", and that gives you the resultant impact force (the difference in momentum being transferred). weak impact scenario example: vehicle A is traveling 60 mph, and vehicle B is the same mass and is traveling 50 mph. The difference in momentum would be the mass times 10 mph...not much. severe impact scenario: vehicle A is traveling 70 mph, and vehicle B is at rest (0 mph)...large impact. In the head-on impact, you have the most severe crash scenario. In this case, you ADD the momentum of vehicle A with the momentum of vehicle B, and you get the resultant force of impact. Even if both vehicles are traveling 30 mph, with the same mass, and have a heaad-on collision, the is close to the same as one vehicle traveling 10 mph and hitting the other vehicle going 70 mph...severe impact.

How can a heavy moving van have the same momentum as a small motorcycle?
Momentum = Mass x Velocity. They could have the same momentum if the motorcycle is going fast and the van is going slow. If the van weighs ten times as much as the motorcycle, and is driving 5 mph it would have the same momentum as the motorcycle driving 50 mph.
Equation to find momentum?
Momentum is the product of Mass times Velocity Momentum = MV
What is momentum and how is it caculated?
momentum equals mass times velocity:]
Is it true that momentum is not equal to the mass of an object divided by its velocity?
That is true because momentum is mass times velocity
Conservation of linear momentum exp?
Linear momentum is mass times velocity. For a single point object, momentum is conserved, because the object will continue to move at a constant velocity. Nor will its mass change either. For a group of objects, too: When momentum is transferred, for example during a collision, any momentum lost by one object is gained by another. The total momentum remains constant.
How do you determine mass using momentum and velocity?
Momentum = (mass) times (velocity)mass = (Momentum) divided by (velocity)
Compute the momentum of a 50 kg bike and a 30 kg rider going 10 m s?
Momentum = (mass) times (velocity) = (50 + 30) (10) = 800 kilogram-meters per second.
What would the formula be for mass and momentum?
It would be: Momentum = (mass) times (velocity)
What do you need to have momentum?
based on the momentum formula, momentum equals mass times velocity, momentum can be achieved when something with mass is moving. P=mv
What is Mass times distance divided by time?
Momentum. Distance divided by time is speed. Mass times speed is momentum.
