Momentum

    Cards (6)

    • Momentum is a property of moving objects
    • The more momentum an object has, the more difficult it is to stop
    • Momentum of an object depends on the mass and velocity of the object
    • It is a vector quantity because it has a magnitude and direction
    • Momentum (Kgm/s) = Mass x Velocity
    • Conservation of Momentum - in a closed system, the total momentum before an event is equal to the total momentum after the event
      • Momentum before = Momentum after
