Momentum is mass times velocity, and it is a vector, so it has a direction.
This boulder has a momentum of 100*5=500 kgm/s in the direction of its motion.

Does a boulder rolling down a hill have momentum?
Yes, a boulder rolling down a hill has mass and velocity. Therefore, it has momentum because p = mv (momentum = mass x velocity).
What is the momentum of a 100 kilogram boulder rolling south down a hill at velocity of 5 meters per second?
Momentum is mass times velocity, and it is a vector, so it has a direction. This boulder has a momentum of 100*5=500 kgm/s in the direction of its motion.

What is the momentum of a 100 kilogram boulder rolling south downhill at a velocity of 5 meters per second?
The idea is to multiply the mass by the velocity.
Which has a greater momentum a car sitting still or a pebble rolling down a hill?
Momentum is the product of mass x velocity. At zero velocity, momentum will also be zero.
Does gravity stop a ball from rolling?
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. When an object slows down, the object reduces in velocity. Since Mass is constant, when velocity reduces momentum reduces. thus momentum can be what stops a rolling object. However, a resistive force the reason for the reduction of velocity and subsequently halting.
What is the momentum of an 8 kilogram bowling ball rolling a 2 meter per second?
momentum = mass x velocity 16 = 8 x velocity velocity = 2 m/s
Which property causes a wagon to continue rolling when you stop pulling it?
Momentum is something that can cause a wagon to continue rolling when you stop pulling it. Momentum equals mass X velocity.
What is the momentum of a 0.5 kg stone rolling at 4.0 minutes per second?
Momentum=mass*velocity 0.5*4=2kgms-1
Why is velocity needed to measure momentum?
In physics, the momentum of an object is the amount of energy it has moving in a direction. It is a product of its mass (weight) and its velocity (speed and direction) as in (momentum = Mass times velocity). Momentum changes when speed is increased or decreased, its direction changes, or its mass changes. An example of changing momentum is an object in space such as a meteor falling to the earth. Gravity can make it come down faster increasing its momentum. Atmospheric friction heats up the object causing some of it to burn away reducing its mass and decreasing its momentum. Another example of momentum is a snowball rolling down a snow covered mountain. Gravity pulling it down increases it speed (velocity) and momentum. Rolling down in snow, it accumulates snow, gets larger, increasing in weight (mass) and momentum.
What is the momentum of a 458g ball rolling at a velocity of 31cm per second?
Momentum p = mv So, p = 458g * 0.31m/s = 0.14198 kg m s⁻¹
What are some examples of momentum?
Momentum is speed or force of movement and it is defined as moving body. Momentum must have both mass and velocity. Examples of momentum include if a car and big truck are rolling down a hill, the truck will roll faster. A bullet has a lot of momentum with a small mass.
