Question

9. Does a stationary object possess momentum? Give the unit to measure momentum​

Answer 1

Answer:

ok

Explanation:

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 units for momentum would be mass units times velocity units. The standard metric unit of momentum is the kg•m/s.

Answer 2

Answer:

No, a stationary object does not possess any momentum.

The quantity of motion contained in a body is called linear momentum of the body.

Or

Momentum of a body is equal to the product of its mass and velocity.

It's given by the formula; $\bf \boxed{p=mv}$

Now, let's consider a stationary object of,

Mass = m

Velocity = 0

Putting values in the formula;

p = m (0)

$\implies$ p = 0

Hence, a stationary object possess zero momentum.

• SI unit of momentum : kg ms⁻¹

• Dimensional formula : [MLT⁻¹]
