How can two different masses have the same momentum?
Two objects have different masses but the same momentum. Same momentum means that the large mass must have a small velocity (so that their product is equal to the small mass times a large velocity).
Can two bodies of different masses possess same momentum?
If two bodies of different masses move with the same momentum, then the heavier body will have the greater velocity.
Can objects with the same mass have the same momentum?
Two objects with the same mass will always have the same momentum. Not all moving objects have momentum. When an object speeds up it gains momentum. Objects with different masses can’t have the same momentum.
How can a body achieve an equal momentum with another body twice its mass?
A doubling of the mass results in a doubling of the momentum. Similarly, if the 2.0-kg cart had a velocity of 8.0 m/s (instead of 2.0 m/s), then the cart would have a momentum of 16.0 kg•m/s (instead of 4.0 kg•m/s). A quadrupling in velocity results in a quadrupling of the momentum.
Can 2 objects of significantly different masses have the same kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is a function of mass and velocity, so objects of different masses can have the same kinetic energy.
What happens to the momentum when all given objects have the same mass but different in velocity?
Mass and velocity are both directly proportional to the momentum. If you increase either mass or velocity, the momentum of the object increases proportionally. If you double the mass or velocity you double the momentum.
How do you find the equal momentum?
The law of momentum conservation can be stated as follows. For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.
What happens to the momentum when all given object have the same mass but different in velocity?
How can two objects with different masses and volumes have the same density?
Answer:Because mass and volume are independent, two objects with the same volume can have different masses. Therefore, the objects can have different densities. However, if two objects have the same mass and volume, they will have the same density. density=mass/volume.
How does the momentum relate to the mass of the body?
Momentum is directly proportional to the object’s mass and also its velocity. Thus the greater an object’s mass or the greater its velocity, the greater its momentum.
What if two objects have the same mass but different volumes?
If the two objects have the same volume but different masses, the one with has a greater mass will have a higher density. For example each liter of gasoline and water don’t have the same masses. The mass of water is 1.00 kg per liter while the mass of gasoline is 0.66 kg per liter.
