Why momentum is a property of moving objects but not of stationary objects

Physics
1 answer:
ZanzabumX [31]3 years ago
6 0

Momentum is a property of moving objects but not stationary objects. You can see this in the formula because momentum equals mass times velocity squared (p=m*v^2). You would not have momentum if you didn't have velocity. Stationary objects have potential energy, and things with potential energy do not have velocity. This is why momentum is a property of moving objects but not of stationary objects.

A person is sitting at the very back of a canoe of length L, when the front just bumps into the dock. show answer No Attempt 50%
Pavel [41]

The distance of the canoeist from the dock is equal to length of the canoe, L.

<h3>Conservation of linear momentum</h3>

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system is always conserved.

v(m₁ + m₂) = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where;

v is the velocity of the canoeist and the canoe when they are together

  • u₁ is the velocity of the canoe
  • u₂ velocity of the canoeist
  • m₁ mass of the canoe
  • m₂ mass of the canoeist

<h3>Distance traveled by the canoeist</h3>

The distance traveled by the canoeist from the back of the canoe to the front of the canoe is equal to the length of the canoe.

Thus, the distance of the canoeist from the dock is equal to length of the canoe, L.
