What is the difference between momentum and velocity?

What is the difference between momentum and velocity?

As nouns the difference between velocity and momentum is that velocity is (physics) a vector quantity that denotes the rate of change of position with respect to time, or a speed with the directional component while momentum is (physics) (of a body in motion) the product of its mass and velocity.

What is mass times velocity equal to?

In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object. where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

What is Mass * Acceleration?

Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is expressed in kilograms. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object in the same straight line of the unbalanced force. When forces become balanced, there is no net force and therefore no movement.

Is constant acceleration is equal to zero?

Constant acceleration means that the acceleration does not change. Some would say that if the acceleration is zero then the acceleration does not change and so one can say that the acceleration is constant.

What happens if acceleration is constant?

If the velocity of the particle changes at a constant rate, then this rate is called the constant acceleration. For example, if the velocity of a particle moving in a straight line changes uniformly (at a constant rate of change) from 2 m/s to 5 m/s over one second, then its constant acceleration is 3 m/s2.

What is the difference between no acceleration and constant acceleration?

Zero acceleration simply means there is no change in velocity with time and no change in velocity means neither its magnitude is changing nor the direction. Whereas constant acceleration say for example g=9.8m/s^2 shows the change in velocity with time (either its speed or direction).

Does velocity increase with constant acceleration?

The object’s velocity increases in the beginning as it accelerates at the beginning, then remains constant in the middle before it slows down toward the end.

Can acceleration decrease while velocity increases?

Yes, it is possible for acceleration to decrease, while the velocity increases. Acceleration is the change of velocity with respect to time. Therefore, when the acceleration decreases, it means that the change of velocity is less, in other words, the velocity is increasing slower.

Can a body have constant velocity?

No, a body can not have its velocity constant, while its speed varies. Rather, it can have its speed constant and its velocity varying. For example in a uniform circular motion.
