Momentum = (mass) x (speed)
Immediately, we could say the momentum is 0.25 kilogram-mile per second. That's
a perfectly good and technically correct answer, but it would be a lot neater if we
convert it into a consistent system of units ... either English or metric. If we choose
metric, then we have to convert miles-per-second into meters-per-second. No problem.
1 mile = 1,609.344 meters.
Momentum = (0.5 kg) x (0.5 mile/sec) x (1,609.344 meter/mile) = 402.3 kg-m/sec (rounded)
That may sound like a big number, but let's not forget ... our 1.1-pound ball has been
pitched at 1,800 mph !

Which if either has greater momentum a 1 kg ball moving at 2 meters per second or a 2 kg ball moving at 1 meters per second?
Momentum = (mass) x (speed) (1 x 2) = (2 x 1). Their momenta are equal.
What is the momentum of a 22.6 Newton bowling ball with a velocity of 6.32 miles per second?
momentum is velocity x mass. Its mass in kilograms is 22.6N/9.8 m/s/s= 2.306kg The velocity is 6.32 miles per second which is 10112 meters per second. The momentum is 2.306 x 10112 which=23318.272 kg meters per second.
A bowling ball has a momentum of 12 kilogram meter per second east the velocity of the ball is 3 meters per second east what is the mass of the ball?
4 kilograms
What is the speed of a 2 kg ball that has a momentum of 10 kg per meter per second?
Momentum = M V = 10V = 10/M = 10/2= 5 meters per second
Why it is possible to catch a solid ball as compared to a hollow ball of equal radius?
The solid ball, will have more mass in comparison to the hollow ball of the same radius. Since, momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity, the solid object will have more momentum. Therefore, the force required to stop the solid ball will be much greater than the force required to stop the hollow ball (since, the hollow ball will have less momentum because of its less mass). That's why its difficult to catch a a solid ball as compared to a hollow ball of equal radius.skhatti

Momentum = (mass) x (speed) (1 x 2) = (2 x 1). Their momenta are equal.
What is the momentun of an object?
The momentum of an object is the product of both the mass and velocity of the object. A train moving at ten miles per hour will have more momentum than a ball moving at ten miles per hour, because the train is much heavier and larger.
Compare the speed of a moving golf ball with the speed of a moving bowling ball if both balls have the same amount of momentum?
momentum=velocity x mass say a golf ball weighs 1 pound and the bowling ball weighs 5 pounds the golf ball would have to be moving 5 times faster than the bowling ball to have the same momentum
If a moving ball rolls into a stationary ball the total momentum of both balls after the collision will be?
By the Law of Conservation of Momentum, the total momentum after the collision must be the same as the total momentum before the collision.
What is the momentum of a 22.6 Newton bowling ball with a velocity of 6.32 miles per second?
momentum is velocity x mass. Its mass in kilograms is 22.6N/9.8 m/s/s= 2.306kg The velocity is 6.32 miles per second which is 10112 meters per second. The momentum is 2.306 x 10112 which=23318.272 kg meters per second.
When a wrecking ball hits a wall it is not moving fast How can it have enough momentum to knock down a wall?
Momentum is a function of both mass and speed. The wrecking ball isn't moving very fast, but it is extremely heavy; that is where its momentum comes from.
Would a 34 kg ball moving at 8 ms have a greater or lower momentum than the 35 kg ball?
If both balls are moving at the same speed (velocity), the heavier (more massive) will have the greater momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. With identical velocities, the more massive object will have the greater momentum. If a 34 kg ball and a 35 kg ball are both moving at 8 m/s as asked, then the 34 kg ball will have less momentum than the 35 kg ball.
If a green ball has a greater momentum that a orange ball and both balls are moving at the same velocity then?
The green ball has more mass than the orange ball. r=mv Momentum = mass x velocity.
What is transferred from a bat to a ball when the ball is hit?
When a bat hits a Baseball the bat transfers momentum. Momentum is the force in a moving object, which can be passed on from one object to another.
What force is responsible for a tennis ball moving forward after it gets hit by a tennis racket?
The ball keeps moving forward because of its momentum, which is not a force.
Why does a golf ball make a bigger dent in the sand when dropped above the sand at higher heights?
It has more momentum from a higher height. Because momentum is always conserved, and momentum is the product of mass times velocity, more sand particles must move away faster in order to conserve the momentum of a heavy ball moving fast. The ball is moving faster from a higher height because the acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s^2) increases the velocity of a falling object after each second its been falling.
Can an elephant have the same momentum has a golf ball?
Momentum, in classical terms, is defined as mass x velocity. So, theoretically, an elephant could have the same momentum as a golf ball if the golf ball (small mass) is moving very, very fast, and the elephant (large mass) is moving very, very slowly. If the product of the mass x velocity is the same, then the momentum can be the same.
