Question

If an object experiences an impulse and stops, what is its final momentum?

I need help please can somebody help me with my questions

Answer 1

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Since momentum is a product of mass and velocity of an object, in this case when the object stops its final velocity is zero hence despite the magnitude of its mass, multiplied by zero the final momentum is equivalent to zero. However, in case after experiencing momentum its velocity reduces but doesn’t come to a rest, the momentum will have a value. For this question, the first case applies hence momentum value is zero.

Answer 2

The final momentum of the object when it stops is zero (0).

The impulse experienced by an object is related to change in momentum of the object in the following equations.

$J = \Delta P\\\\\Delta P = m(v_f- v_0)\\\\\Delta P = mv_f - mv_0$

where;

$v_0$ is the initial velocity of the object

$v_f$ is the final velocity of the object

When the object stops, the final velocity = 0

The final moment of the object is calculated as;

$P_f = mv_f\\\\P_f = m(0)\\\\P_f = 0$

Thus, the final momentum of the object when it stops is zero (0).
