Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. It can be calculated with a equation that is p = mv. Momentum is conserved if objects exert forces only on each other, their total monentum is conserved.

The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity. The law of conservation of momentum states if a group of objects exerts force only on each other, their total momentum doesn't change. If another object acts upon another, the momentum changes.

Momentum is acceleration times mass. Like when u push a ball down a hill it gains momentum.

Momentum is the force that when an object is travely it is the mass and its velocity. If an object has more velocity it will go farther. It is conserved when their are no other forces acting on it. But if their is it will slow the object down.

Momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity. There is a law called the law of conservation of momentum that talks about conserving momentum. It states that if a group of objects exerts force only on each other, their total momentum is conserved.

The momentum of an object is the pre unless its mass, velocity, or both change. oduct of its mass and velocity. The law of conservation statese that the momentum of an object doesn't change.

momentum of an object is its mass and velocity... It is conserved when there is another force exerting on it.

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. The calculation is p=m*v

Momenum is the product of an objects mass and velocity. It is calculated with the equation p=mv. Momentum is conserved when objects give force only on the other one. Their total momentum is conserved then.

Momentum is the product os an objects mass and velocity. It can be calculated by p=mv. If another object acts upon it the momentum changes. The forces would slow the object down.

Monmentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. Momentum is given the symbol p and can be calulated. When two forces act upon each other their total momentum is conserved.

The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity. The momentum of an object doesn't change unless its mass, velocity, or both change. Momentum can be transferred frome one object to another. The law of conservation of momentum states that if a group of objects exerts forces only on each other, their total momentum doesn't change. If no other forces on act on the object, the total momentum is conserved- it isn't lost or created.

momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity. it can be calcualted with an equation of p=mv. Momentum is conserved if objects exert force only forces only on another ojbect, their total momentum can be conserved.

Momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity. momentum is conserved if objects exert force only forces on another object.

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity. You can find momentum by using the formula p=mv . Momentum is conserved if both objects are only pushing on each other.

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. The momentum of an object can be calculated by using the formula p=mv. Momentum doesnt change unless another object acts upon it such as a car hitting a wall. The momentum of the car decreases.

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. I think that momentum is a good thing. I think that momentum is what we should learn alot about in out 9th grade science year.

Momentum is the product of an objects mass and velocity. It is conserved if a group of objects exerts force only on eachother, and its monentum doesnt change either, unless something else acts on it.

Momentum can be defined as "mass in motion." All objects have mass; so if an object is moving, then it has momentum - it has its mass in motion. The amount of momentum which an object has is dependent upon two variables: how much stuff is moving and how fast the stuff is moving. Momentum depends upon the variables mass and velocity. It is conserved if objects exert forces only on each other, their total mementum is conserved.
