give 5 example of momentum in physics
Answers
Explanation:
Examples of Momentum:
1. A semi-truck full of logs has a large mass and must slow down long before a stop light because even with a small velocity, it has a large momentum and is difficult to stop.
2. A four-wheeler moving at a relatively fast velocity has a smaller momentum than the semi-truck because of its small mass and will stop much faster.
3. A bullet, although small in mass, has a large momentum because of an extremely large velocity.
4. A 1000 kg car moving at 15 m/sec has a momentum of 15,000 kg•m/sec as a result of multiplying the mass and the velocity.
5. A karate expert can generate enough speed with his fist that the momentum can carry through several bricks breaking them.

Answer:
For example, a bowling ball (large mass) moving very slowly (low velocity) can have the same momentum as a baseball (small mass) that is thrown fast (high velocity). A bullet is another example where the momentum is very-very high, due to the extraordinary velocity..........
