Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the relationships between force, momentum, angular momentum, kinetic energy, potential energy, mass, acceleration, and velocity. The original poster expresses difficulty in understanding how these concepts are interconnected.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore how mass influences kinetic energy and question the implications of changing mass on kinetic energy. There is also a focus on understanding the link between momentum and mass, with some participants expressing uncertainty about potential energy.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants raising questions about the relationships between the various concepts. Some guidance has been offered regarding kinetic energy and momentum, but there is no explicit consensus on the connections among all the topics discussed.

Contextual Notes

Participants note a lack of clear resources to explain the links between these concepts, indicating a potential gap in understanding or available materials.

Homework Statement
Describe how force, momentum, Angular momentum, kinetic and potential energy are linked with respect to mass, acceleration and velocity
Relevant Equations
N/A
Good Evening All,

I have an assignment i am struggling with really hope you can help.

The question reads Describe how force, momentum, Angular momentum, kinetic and potential energy are linked with respect to mass, acceleration and velocity

I know the following
Force – the push or pull upon an object
Momentum – IS the product of the mass of a particle and its velocity
Angular Momentum – Is the amount of rotation of a body which is the product of inertia and its angular velocity
Kinetic Energy - Is a type of energy that an object or particle has by reason of its motion
Potential Energy - Stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system

Mass – Is the fundamental property of all matter
Acceleration- Is the rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both speed and direction
Velocity - is the rate at which an object changes its position

But i have no idea how they are all linked i am struggling to find any resources clearly explaining it.

How does mass affect the object's kinetic energy? What would, say, doubling the mass have on its kinetic energy?

That's the answer for momentum! Yes?

What about the others? Potential energy is a strange one, I think.

Gradient?
