1)Ok thanks that makes sense. If the initial object is moving backwards it can help balance energy and momentum. 2)I am still a bit confused on this one (edit: thought about it some more, think I get it). I understand an example used with gravity, where an object starts with potential energy...

Hi, I am currently in High School physics and we are going over Energy and Momentum. I have some questions about how and why they both work. *all objects are assumed to have the same mass Since [Kinetic Energy=1/2mv^2], an objects Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of its...
