Question

How is it possible for two objects to have the same momentum but different velocities?

Answer 1

according to law of conservation of momentum mass remains some but velocity change

Answer 2

Hey dear,

◆ Linear momentum -
- It's vector quantity represented by cross product of mass & velocity of object.
- Formula is
Linear momentum(p) = Mass(m) × Velocity(v)
- Momentum have same direction as that of velocity.

◆ Same momentum, different velocities -
- Two bodies with same linear momentum but different masses have different velocities.

i.e. p1 = p2 & m1 ≠ m2, then v1 ≠ v2.

Hope this helps you...
