First, know that p = mv, where p = momentum, m = mass, and v = velocity.

Let Car A be the car with twice the mass, and Car B be the car with twice the velocity.

The momentum of Car A has to be in relation to the momentum of Car B, so:

Car A:

p = mv write the equation

p = 2mv write the equation in relation to Car A

p = 2(mv) realize that the new equation is twice the old

2p

Car B:

p = mv

p = m2v

p = 2(mv)

2p

So the cars have the same momentum!

what has the greatest momentum a bowling ball traveling at 10 kph or a bowling ball traveling at 20 kph?

The bowling ball traveling at 20 kph has greater momentum than the one traveling at 10 kph, assuming both have the same mass. Momentum is calculated using the formula ( p = mv ), where ( p ) is momentum, ( m ) is mass, and ( v ) is velocity. Since the second ball has a higher velocity, its momentum will be greater, making it more impactful in motion.

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.

What is the mass of an object moving at 4 miles a second that has the same momentum?

4 miles per second is 6437.376m per second. Momentum is mass x velocity so mass = momentum ÷ velocity mass = momentum ÷ 6437.376 Of course, if you had given us the whole question it would have helped.


The mass of an object in kilograms times its velocity is?

The product of mass in kilograms and velocity in meters per second is the momentum of the object, measured in kilogram-meters per second (kg*m/s).


Why does momentum have no designated SI unit name?

Momentum is a vector quantity, calculated as the product of an object's mass and velocity. Its SI unit is kilogram meters per second (kg m/s), which represents the combination of mass (kg) and velocity (m/s) in defining momentum. Momentum does not have a separate designated unit name because it is derived from fundamental SI units.

What depends on an objects mass and velocity?

An object's momentum depends on both its mass and velocity. Momentum is calculated by multiplying an object's mass by its velocity. Therefore, an object with a larger mass or a higher velocity will have a greater momentum.
