How can you decrease the momentum of an object?

You will have to "put force against the object to slow it down." Momentum is the force that is keeping a object moving in a certain direction so if you would want to slow down the object you will have to put another force against the object to slow it down or stop it. For example: a person kicks a ball, the ball moving is the momentum. So, if you would want to stop the ball you would have t put something in its path to slow it down which is the decreasing of it's momentum. Therefore you would put a bump in the wall and when the ball hits the bump it slows down.

Hope this helps!

The momentum of an object is the product of (its mass)
and (its velocity).  So, if you want to decrease the object's
momentum, then you're going to have to decrease one of
those quantities.

You have exactly two choices:

1). Reduce its mass. (Put the object on a diet, or cut a piece off.)
or
2). Reduce its speed.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

42.0×10² second²

Explanation:

Here, time is given in milisecond

(64800 ms)²

= 4199040000 ms²

The SI unit is seconds

1 second = 1000 milisecond

1\ milisecond=\frac{1}{1000}\ second

\\\Rightarrow 1\ milisecond^2=\left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2

4199040000\ ms^2=4199040000\times \left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2=4199.04\ second^2

42.0×10² second²

Maksim231197 [3]
Wee see rainbows due to the geometries of the raindrops. when the sun shines behind, rays of light enter the raindrops and this light are refracted. The lights are then reflected from the back of the raindrop and refracted again as it passes the rain drop. Refraction in this sense is the cause for splitting the light into several colors.
