Any force that acts along or has a component along the direction of the velocity vector will influence momentum.

What are some forces that act on a ball when you throw it in the air?

Kinetic energy, momentum, gravity.


What are some true statements about momentum?

Momentum is a vector quantity that depends on an object's mass and velocity. The momentum of an object can be transferred or changed through interactions with other objects. The conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant in the absence of external forces.


What factors do you think may cause there to be a difference between the momentum before and the momentum after the collision?

There is a Law of Conservation of Momentum, which states that total momentum is always conserved. In this case, that means that - assuming no additional bodies are involved - the total momentum before the collision will be the same as the total momentum after the collision. It doesn't even matter whether the collision is elastic or not.


What is the momentum of marbles after collision?

The momentum of marbles after collision is the same as the total momentum before the collision, according to the principle of conservation of momentum. If no external forces act on the system of marbles during the collision, the total momentum remains constant.


What happens to momentum when moving objects collide?

The momenta of individual objects changes. The total momentum remains constant. I have to disagree. If you have two cars that collide head on, the momentum of both vehicles stops. The ENERGY created by the impact causes usually, some reverse momentum but the momentum is lost.


How do solve conservation of angular momentum?

Usually you would use some fact you know about the physical system, and then write an equation that states that the total angular momentum "before" = the total angular momentum "after" some event.


What Some forces act at a distance and thus do not require .?

Some examples of forces that act at a distance and do not require contact are gravitational forces and electromagnetic forces. These forces can exert their influence on objects without physically touching them, such as how the Earth's gravity keeps objects on the surface and how magnets attract or repel each other.


Relatinship between velocity and momentum of the object?

With any two of the three values of velocity, momentum and mass, the third can easily be calculated. (Momentum) = (Velocity) x (Mass) If you were to multiply the velocity by some factor, the momentum would also be multiplied by that same factor. These are directly proportional.


3. Some forces act at a distance and thus do not require .?

Some forces act at a distance and thus do not require direct contact between objects. Examples include gravitational and electromagnetic forces. These forces can influence objects without physical contact due to their field-like nature.


What are some external forces of a glacier?

Some external forces acting on a glacier include temperature, precipitation (snowfall), wind, and sunlight. These factors can influence the accumulation, melting, and movement of glacial ice.


What is the equation in solving for momentum?

That would probably depend on the specific situation; there are several equations that involve momentum. Two important equations are: 1) Conservation of momentum: m2 = m1 (i.e., total momentum after some event, such as an impact, is the same as total momentum before the event) 2) The definition of momentum: p = mv (momentum, which is usually written as "p", is mass times velocity) cw: Impulse (Force X time) is equal to the change in momentum.


What is p equals mv?

Oh, honey, you're talking about Newton's second law, but you got the variables mixed up. It's actually F=ma, where force equals mass times acceleration. So, in your equation, p equals mv, p would be momentum, not force. Keep those physics formulas straight, darling!
