Question

What is different between kinetic energy and momentum?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the integral of momentum. For constant mass, momentum increases linearly with speed, while kinetic energy increases as the square of speed. A light object traveling fast is more damaging than a heavy object with the same momentum traveling slowly because it carries more energy.

Answer 2

Explanation:

$<b>$

: Kinetic energy is an energy that is possessed by an object, due to its motion. It is equivalent to the work that is required in order to accelerate the object.

Momentum is described as a quantity that states an object’s resistance to stopping. Therefore, it can also be defined as the “Inertia in Motion.”
