Explain what will happen if an object has high momentum or low momentum and a force is applied?

1 answer:

5 0

-- If the force is applied in the same direction as the object is moving, then the object's momentum in that direction will increase.

-- If the force is applied in the direction OPPOSITE to the way the object is moving, then the object's momentum will decrease.

-- In either case, the CHANGE in the object's momentum will be

(strength of the force) x (length of time the force is applied) .

This quantity is also called "impulse".

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; action and reaction act on different bodies.
Here, the action force is in the leftward direction, so the reaction will be in the opposite direction.
If the action force is the swimmer pushing water in the leftward direction, then the reaction force is in the rightward direction.
And the reaction force will be given by the water on the swimmer.

Answer:

The reaction force is the water pushing the swimmer in the rightward direction.

Hope you could get an idea from here.
