A body has mechanical energy but no momentum, or has momentum but no mechanical energy -is it possible ? |
|
Answer» Solution :A body at rest at a height from the ground has potential ENERGY, a form of MECHANICAL energy, but no momentum. A body with momentummust have some VELOCITY and thus some KINETIC energy associated with it. Since kinetic energy is a form of mechanical energy, a body with momentum must have some mechanical energy . |
