Integrated Science Glencoe Chapter 4 Momentum Integrated Science Glencoe Chapter 4
Momentum The quantity of an object’s mass times the object’s velocity
Momentum Moving objects have momentum Larger objects are harder to stop when moving and have more momentum due to their larger mass
Momentum Momentum has direction Fast moving objects have more momentum SI units for momentum kg x m/s
Momentum equation Momentum = mass x velocity p = m x v p = momentum m = mass v = velocity
Law of Conservation of Momentum The total amount of a momentum in a system is constant None is created or destroyed The amount of momentum before a collision = the amount of momentum after a collision
