Speed.

A speed is a distance divided by time, such as miles/hour or meters/second

An acceleration is a distance over a time squared, such as m/s^2

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and has units kg*(m/s)

How do you find mass if you are given the momentum and the speed?

momentum = mass x velocity => mass = momentum / velocity


What is an object's mass multiplied by its velocity?

mass x velocity = momentum. (velocity = speed with a direction)


How does velocity affect momentum?

if velocity increases, so does momentum. and vice versa momentum = mass x velocity increasing mass or velocity or both will increase momentum


What is one similarity to speed velocity acceleration?

Speed, velocity, and acceleration all have momentum.


Are momentum and speed the same thing?

NO .Momentum has some potential to do work where as speed is only the rate of action or travel. For example if a car is switched off while speeeding itwill still continue to run for some time due to momentum. Speed by itself has no energy for doing work Momentum is in fact defined as mass x velocity, and will be conserved in an elastic collision.


What are the quantities of motion?

The quantities of motion are described by the concepts of speed, velocity, acceleration, and momentum. Speed is the rate of motion, velocity includes speed and direction, acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes, and momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity.


What are 2 factor does momentum depend on?

Momentum depends on an object's mass and velocity. The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity, meaning that a heavier object moving at a faster speed will have a greater momentum.


How do you calculate speed and momentum?

Speed is defined as distance travelled per unit of time (for example, miles per hour, or kilometers per hour, feet per second, etc.). Momentum is mass times velocity. Velocity is not exactly the same thing as speed; it is the speed plus the direction. That way, two objects that are moving in the opposite direction have opposite momentum, and when the collide, the momentum can cancel (if they don't bounce apart) rather than adding up to twice the momentum. Actual calculations of these sorts of problems involves calculus, because speed and momentum can change continuously, so you need a mathematical system that is designed to deal with that kind of change.


How are mass and speed related?

Mass and speed are related in the concept of momentum, which is the product of an object's mass and velocity. Specifically, momentum is equal to mass multiplied by velocity. Therefore, as either mass or speed increases, momentum will also increase.


Does momentum change if Speed changes?

Yes, momentum changes when speed changes because momentum is directly proportional to an object's velocity. When an object's speed changes, its momentum will also change accordingly.


What are the two factors which determine the momentum of a body?

Momentum depends on the mass and the velocity of an object. In physics, P=mv, momentum equals mass times velocity.


What is the speed of an object called?

I believe it's velocity or momentum.
