Momentum Notes

Momentum

The mass of an object multiplied by its velocity equals its momentum.

If an object has no speed, it has no momentum (an object that is not moving).

When two things travel at the same speed, the object with more mass has more momentum.

"Inertia in motion" is what momentum means.

Mass multiplied by velocity equals momentum (speed)

Impulse number two

Force multiplied by the time it takes to exert the force equals impulse.

The more time passes, the more the force is dispersed. This will lessen the effect of the force.

An example of this would be a car driving into a wall or a haystack. In both instances the car would stop, however the haystack would take longer to stop the car than the wall so the damage would
