Lets say someone fires a bullet and midway time freezes. During this time, the bullet will appear to be stand still. The question is, how is the momentum stored in the bullet. How does the bullet know that it has to travel in a particular direction. If your answer has anything to do with potential energy and kinetic energy, pls skip answering because I am looking for much deeper answer.How's momentum stored in a moving object? Is this information stored inside the moving object or from outside?
Not sure what you mean by a ';deeper answer';, but you have a pretty fundamental problem with your question:
';Lets say someone fires a bullet and midway %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;time freezes%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;.';
';%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;During this time%26lt;%26lt;%26lt;, the bullet will appear to be stand still.';
If time was frozen (and realize this in itself is a pure hypothetical) then there is no ';during this time';. No time passes. As far as the bullet is concerned, it never happened so it just keeps going as it did due to momentum.
The momentum isn't ';stored'; anywhere per se, it's more the result of the fact that matter doesn't change its state of movement unless a force acts upon it. Since no force acted upon it and, from perspective of the bullet, time never stopped it just keeps going.How's momentum stored in a moving object? Is this information stored inside the moving object or from outside?
Your question doesn't make sense to me because time doesn't freeze
