Does momentum depend on force?

Knowing the amount of force and the length of time that force is applied to an object will tell you the resulting change in its momentum. They are related by the fact that force is the rate at which momentum changes with respect to time (F = dp/dt). Note that if p = mv and m is constant, then F = dp/dt = m*dv/dt = ma.

What does change in momentum depend on?

The change in momentum depends upon the mass of the object.

How does momentum depend on mass?

Mass and velocity are both directly proportional to the momentum. If you increase either mass or velocity, the momentum of the object increases proportionally. If you double the mass or velocity you double the momentum.

Does momentum depend on acceleration?

Momentum change depends on velocity change and the velocity change is greatest in case B (as stated above). Observe that the greater the rebound effect, the greater the acceleration, momentum change, and impulse. A rebound is a special type of collision involving a direction change in addition to a speed change.

Do heavier objects have more momentum?

An object with mass will have momentum. The momentum of an object varies directly with the speed of the object. Two objects of different mass are moving at the same speed; the more massive object will have the greatest momentum. A less massive object can never have more momentum than a more massive object.

Which undergoes the greatest change in momentum?

The greatest change in momentum occurs when the baseball is caught and thrown back.

How does a photon carry momentum?

Particles carry momentum as well as energy. Despite photons having no mass, there has long been evidence that EM radiation carries momentum. Evidently, photons carry momentum in the direction of their motion (away from the Sun), and some of this momentum is transferred to dust particles in collisions.
