What are the 2 factors affect momentum?
The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two variables: how much stuff is moving and how fast the stuff is moving. Momentum depends upon the variables mass and velocity. In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object.
What 2 things determine an objects momentum?
The mass of an object multiplied by it’s velocity. What factors affect an object’s momentum? Mass, speed and direction (if direction is important).
mass
The property of matter that momentum is related to is mass. Mass is the amount of matter in an object or a substance, and the amount of momentum in an…
What 2 factors affect impulse?
The two main factors are insulation by the myelin sheath and the diameter of the axon.
Which are the factors affecting momentum?
What two factors affect an object’s momentum? Momentum is affected by the mass of the object and its velocity (or speed). Momentum is mass in motion!
What is the property of momentum?
momentum, product of the mass of a particle and its velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity; i.e., it has both magnitude and direction. Isaac Newton’s second law of motion states that the time rate of change of momentum is equal to the force acting on the particle.
Momentum measures the ‘motion content’ of an object, and is based on the product of an object’s mass and velocity. Momentum doubles, for example, when velocity doubles. Knowing the amount of force and the length of time that force is applied to an object will tell you the resulting change in its momentum.
What two factors affect conduction velocity?
Conduction velocity is influenced by myelin sheath thickness and internode distance (i.e. the distance along the axon between the nodes of Ranvier) (Hursh, 1939), and both parameters are linearly related to axon diameter.
