How should I look at the problem at stopping a moving object with the following conditions
1) mass m and speed v
2) 0.5 m and 2v
3)0.5m and sqrt 2 v
Simple math tells me the number 2 would require more energy to stop it. I can relate to energy better in terms of how to stop a moving mass but how does one visualise in terms of momentum?
Thanks
