Momentum Describe the momentum of objects before and after collisions.
Terms and Definitions • Momentum • A quantity defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object • Conservation of Momentum • Momentum Before = Momentum After • Impulse • Product of force acting upon a body and the time during which it acts • The change in momentum
Sample Problem Problem Answer • Calculate the momentum of a 6.00 kg bolwing ball moving at 10.0 m/s down the alley toward the pins. • m = 6 kg • v = 10 m/s • p = ? • p = mv • p = (6)(10) • p = 60 kg x m/s
