Question: Which of the following statements about the velocity and momentum of an object are correct? (1) The momentum of an object is always in the same direction as its velocity (2) The momentum of an object can be either in the same direction as its velocity or in the opposite direction. (3) The momentum of an object is perpendicular to its velocity. (4) The direction of an object's momentum is not related to the direction of its velocity. (5) The direction of an object's momentum is tangent to its path.
What is the velocity of aobject when its momentum is?
A proton travelling with a velocity of passes the origin at a time 9.0 s after a proton detector is turned on. Assuming that the velocity of the proton does not change, what will be its position at time 9.7 s?
A 1500 kg car located at has a momentum of . What is its location 10 s later?
Place a ball on a book and walk with the book in uniform motion. Note that you don't really have to do anything to the ball to keep the ball moving with constant velocity (relative to the ground) or to keep the ball at rest (relative to you). Then stop suddenly, or abruptly change your direction or speed. What does Newton's first law of motion predict for the motion of the ball (assuming that the interaction between the ball and the book is small)? Does the ball behave as predicted? It may help to take the point of view of a friend who is standing still, watching you.
