1. Momentum
Informally:
A measure how hard it would feel to be hit by that thing
Formally:
p = momentum (a vector)
m = mass
v= velocity
Units of Momentum => [kg][m/s] = [kg*m/s]

2. Comparing Momentum Neither Both have p = 10,000 kg·m/s
Which has more momentum?
10,000 kg bus
with v = 1m/s
2,000 kg car with
v = 5m/s
Neither
Both have p = 10,000 kg·m/s

3. The player has p = 60 kg·m/s
Comparing Momentum
Which has more momentum?
60 kg referee with
v = 0 m/s
30 kg player with
v = 2 m/s
Player
The player has p = 60 kg·m/s
The referee has p = 0.

5. Cart A:
m = 2kg
v = 3 m/s
p = 6 kgm/s
Cart B:
m = 3kg
v = 2 m/s
