Momentum is a property of matter which causes matter to maintain velocity (speed and direction) unless acted on by unbalanced forced. This applies anywhere, from in space, in the air, on the ground, under ground, or under water.
Once a swimmer is moving he/she has momentum. Momentum is a vector quantity is calculated by multiplying mass by velocity. When moving through a fluid, whether it be air or water, a body encounters resistance. This resistance causes momentum to be lost to the fluid around the body, and the body slows down. Normally a constant force such as a waving a fin, or spinning a propellor is needed to counter the loss of momentum. Aero/hydrodynamic shapes will lower resistance allowing the body to retain momentum for much longer, and reduce demand for a compensating source of power.

What is the applications of angular momentum?
when we churn and make out butter milk out of curd, here we apply angular momentum ceiling fan is another example of angular momentum
How does momentum apply to basketball?
When you dribble a basketball then you are causing the momentum to go downward. When the basketball hits the ground the opposite reaction occurs and the basketball goes upward.
What would you do to impart the greatest momentum to an object?
Apply maximum force for the longest possible time interval
Where do you apply conservation of momentum?
Conservation of moment could be applied to any system if no external force acts on it.
1 In a collision that is inelastic the total what after the collision is not the same as before the collision?
Hi, in line with Newton's laws of motion the momentum before and after a collision is always conserved (when no external force is applied to change the systems momentum). In elastic collisions we can apply the conservation of momentum and conservation of energy principles. In inelastic collisions we can only apply the conservation of momentum principle. Energy is not conserved in inelastic collisions because energy is lost through small deformations, noise, friction, etc. We can compute the coefficient of restitution that helps determine this degree of energy loss from impulse-momentum equations.
What principles of physics apply to light?
* Maxwell's laws of electromagnetism * conservation of momentum * laws of reflection / refraction * diffraction
How does the law of conservation apply to a game of pool?
There are several laws of conservation; please clarify which one you mean. For example, there is the law of conservation of mass, of energy, of momentum, of rotational momentum, of electrical charge, and others.
How do you calculate the new velocity so that momentum remains same?
apply conservation of momentum theory- m1v1=m2v2 where m1 is the initial mass, m2 is the final mass, v1 is the initial velocity and v2 is the final velocity.
What is the difference between law of conservation of energy and conservation of momentum?
conservation of momentum depend upon mass and velocity.by the formula its given as m'.v'=m.v but the energy have void area it apply in themodynamics,revolution of planet in every physical universe..where is velocity is not taken in count there no momentum but there have some specific energy of body
What Does it Men To Momentum is Conserved?
When momentum is conserved, the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum.
How do you find magnitude of final momentum?
Use this formula:Final momentum = (initial momentum) + (change in momentum)
What is momentum define?
what is the definition for momentum
