∙ 12y agoMomentum is given by the product of the mass and velocity. As velocity is a vector which has direction, the direction of the object's momentum concerned is the same as the direction of its velocity. Thus momentum also has direction.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt is the same direction as the objects Velocity 8)
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes. An object's momentum is in the same direction as its velocity.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes. Momentum is a vector quantity, and as such is described both by magnitude and direction.

Is momentum inversely proportional to velocity?
No, momentum is directly proportional to velocity, and in the same direction..
What is the relationship between momentum and inertia?
I guess that momentum is part of the inertia, inertia is composed of momentum as the pages are related to the book. Inertia will be different if it has different kind of momentum. Force will affect momentum so inertia will change.
How is momentum transfered when golf club hits a golf ball?
The golf ball, initially at rest, has no initial momentum. The velocity the moment before the club strikes the ball and the clubs mass multiply to get the initial momentum. The ball then gains much momentum in the direction of the clubs initial momentum. Since there golfers arm is remaining attached to the shoulder the clubs acceleration is directed towards his shoulder and the momentum is directed in a circular direction.
Does an object with momentum always have energy?
Not if it's potential energy. Only objects with kinetic energy have momentum.
How will balls move if they collide and stick together?
Consevation of momentum applies. The final compond mass must have the same momentum as the net momentum of the two balls before the collision. Remember, momentum is a vector and direction is important. For example if the two balls are moving toward each other with the same momentum, the net momentum is zero because they are moving in opposite directions. So the compound ball will not move. Or, if ball 1 is moving left and has a greater momentum then ball 2 ,moving right, then the compound ball will move left. Its momentum will equal the difference between the two momentums because when you add two vectors in opposite directions you subtract their magnitudes. Mechanical energy (potential + kinetic) is not conserved in this collision because some mechanical energy is lost as heat in the collision.
The momentum of an objects is in the same what as its velocity?
In the same direction. Both momentum and velocity are vectors.
Explain how momentum is conserved when a ball bounces against a floor?
The ball's momentum changes in one direction, the momentum of planet Earth in the opposite direction.
Why does momentum have a direction?
Because momentum is mass X velocity. Velocity has direction, otherwise it is speed.
What does change in momentum mean?
It means that the momentum increases, decreases, or simply changes its direction. The latter is because momentum is a vector quantity (that is, the direction is relevant). Momentum is defined as the product of velocity and mass.
How can an object have negative momentum?
momentum is a vector quantity and therefore has direction. all vector quantities can have negative direction
How is direction of acceleration related to direction of momentum?
It isn't. The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of the velocity - of the movement. The direction of acceleration, on the other hand, is the same as the direction of the net force that acts on an object - and this force can be in any direction.
Is momentum downwards?
Momentum is a vector, the product of a scalar (mass) & a vector (velocity). As such, its direction is whatever direction the velocity vector has.
Momentum has the same direction of what?
Velocity!
Is momentum inversely proportional to velocity?
No, momentum is directly proportional to velocity, and in the same direction..
Why does your body go left when a bus turns right?
Momentum. Momentum is mass x velocity. Velocity is speed in a direction. Even if the bus changes direction, you still have momentum in the original direction until some force pushes you in another direction. That takes a moment in a car or bus, so until your momentum is that of the bus, you'll still be going in a slightly different direction, which happens to seem 'outwards'.
Which one has same direction of momentum?
The velocity.
What is the movement of an object called?
direction
