  • momentum
    the force or speed with which something moves
  • momentum (kg m/s) =
    mass (kg) x velocity (m/s)
  • momentum formula
    p=mv
  • momentum formula triangle
  • conservation of momentum
    the total momentum of a system of objects does not change, as long as no outside forces are acting on that system
  • if in a crash a moving car hits a parked car and they start moving together, why would they be travelling at a lower velocity?
    due to the conservation of momentum
  • you can use the conservation of momentum to calculate...
    velocities or masses
  • why is momentum a vector quantity?
    because velocity has magnitude and direction
  • force causes a ... in momentum
    change
  • force (N) =

    change in momentum (kg m/s) / time (s)
  • change in momentum formula triangle
  • change in momentum formula
    F=mΔv/t
  • the force causing the change in momentum is ... to the rate of change of momentum

    equal
  • a larger force means a ... change in momentum
    faster
