Momentum
Momentum How fast and forceful something will move based on its mass and velocity
Momentum = mass x velocity P = m x v Kg x m/s = kg x m/s Who has more momentum? A slower, heavy football player or a faster, light football player?
p = m x v p = 150 kg x 2 m/s p= p = m x v p = 130 kg x 5 m/s p=
Transfers from one object to the next Law of conservation of momentum – Momentum is conserved. It is neither created nor destroyed. Transfers from one object to the next
Problem: If a 200 kg boy hits a ball with a velocity of 5 m/s and 100 kg girl hits the ball with 12 m/s, which has more momentum?
P = m x v P = 200 kg x 5 m/s P = P = m x v P =100 kg x 12 m/s p =
