Formula Momentum (p) = Mass x velocity Unit is kgm/s
Law of Conservation of Momentum the total momentum of a system will be constant that is the momentum before collision will be equal to the momentum after collision in the absence of an external force
SO….Give an example of conditions when two objects (object A = 1kg and object B = 10 kg) would have the same momentum. Momentum depends on How fast things are moving ________________ How much matter is in an object ______________
PRACTICE PROBLEMS p = momentum (kgm/s) m = mass (kg) v = velocity (m/s) How much momentum does an object have it is has a mass of 4 kg and is traveling at a rate of 4 m/s?
