The velocity of the car is staying constant speed the whole time. It is not rising or diminishing at all.
A feather with no momentum maintains constant velocity. Momentum is defined as the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.
The answer is velocity.
Momentum is defined as the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity. It is a conserved quantity and within an isolated system the total momentum is constant.
Velocity is Speed in a given direction. Moving at constant velocity is equivalent to say moving with a constant speed in a specified direction. So, moving at constant velocity implicitly means moving with constant speed.
determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.
Momentum depends on mass and velocity.
The property you are looking for is the objects momentum. Momentum = Mass * Velocity.
determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.
The product of mass and velocity determines the momentum of a moving body.
a moving objects momentum
Yes, it can. Initially, an object will be accelerating downward (with an acceleration equal to g - f, where f is the force of air resistance). During this period, mass is constant but velocity is continually increasing, so momentum increases as well. However, because f is dependent on v (the speed of the object relative to the air), at a certain velocity, the force of air resistance will equal gravity, and the object will stop accelerating (this velocity is known as "terminal" velocity). At this point, the object will fall with constant speed, and momentum will remain constant.
As far as we can tell, it doesn't. Momentum is defined as (mass) times (velocity). There appear to be only two ways in which momentum can decrease: either the mass has to magically evaporate, or else the velocity has to decrease. Since mass conservation is a nearly fundamental law of nature, that leaves us with velocity as the only way to change the momentum of a moving body.
