What is the momentum of a van with a mass of 1200 kg traveling at a speed of 25 m s?
JGriff555
Remember :
Force = kg * m*s^-2
Momentum = kg * m* s^-1
The difference is force involves acceleration,; the difference in speec(velocity) over a given timr.
Momentum involves speed (velocity) only. NOT a change in velocity.
So your van of 1200 kg with a speed pf 25 ms^-2
The momentum is = 1200 kg & 25 ms^-2 = 30,000 kg m s^-1

∙ 14y agoSimply multiply the mass and the speed. The answer will be in kg x m / s. As far as I know, this unit has no special name. Momentum is a vector; the direction of the momentum vector will, of course, be in the direction of the movement.

A car and a train are traveling with the same velocitydo the two objects have the same momentum?
No, the train has MUCH more mass and momentum is mass times speed.
If momentum and mass is given how to find speed?
Momentum = mass x speed so speed = momentum/mass or V=P/m
What is the momentum of a truck with a mass of 4500 kg traveling at 25 m divided by s?
Magnitude of momentum = (mass) x (speed) = (4,500) x (25) = 112,500 kilogram-meters/second
When the mass of a moving object is doubled and its speed remains the same its momentum?
If the mass is doubled,speed should be halved to conserve momentum.
How is speed related to momentum?
Very, very basically, momentum is a combination of speed and mass of the object.
Which obect has a greater momentum traveling at a constant speed?
The one with greater mass.
A car and a train are traveling with the same velocitydo the two objects have the same momentum?
No, the train has MUCH more mass and momentum is mass times speed.
A car and a truck are traveling at the same speedWhich has more momentum why?
If a car and a truck are traveling at the same speed, the truck would have more momentum because it has a greater mass.
Which has a greater momentum a small pick up truck traveling at 55km an hour or a full-sized bus traveling at the same speed?
Momentum is mass times velocity, if the velocity of the two are the same, the object with the greater mass will have proportionally greater momentum.
If momentum and mass is given how to find speed?
Momentum = mass x speed so speed = momentum/mass or V=P/m
What is the momentum of a truck with a mass of 4500 kg traveling at 25 m divided by s?
Magnitude of momentum = (mass) x (speed) = (4,500) x (25) = 112,500 kilogram-meters/second
How do you find mass if you are given the momentum and the speed?
momentum = mass x velocity => mass = momentum / velocity
What is Mass times distance divided by time?
Momentum. Distance divided by time is speed. Mass times speed is momentum.
When the mass of a moving object is doubled and its speed remains the same its momentum?
If the mass is doubled,speed should be halved to conserve momentum.
How is speed related to momentum?
Very, very basically, momentum is a combination of speed and mass of the object.
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.
Is the momentum of a large bus greater than less than that of a small car traveling at the same speed?
Momentum is a function of velocity and mass, therefore, assuming a "large" bus has more mass than a "small" car the bus would have more momentum since the velocities are the same.
