Momentum

Momentum. Found in moving objects Measure of mass in motion p= mv momentum = p m= mass v= velocity Units kg x m/s. Momentum. More mass= more momentum Momentum depends on mass Momentum takes into account velocity Is a vector (has size and direction). Collision.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Momentum • Found in moving objects • Measure of mass in motion • p= mv • momentum = p • m= mass • v= velocity • Units kg x m/s

  2. Momentum • More mass= more momentum • Momentum depends on mass • Momentum takes into account velocity • Is a vector (has size and direction)

  3. Collision • Two objects in close contact exchange energy and momentum

  4. Conservation of Momentum • Total momentum of a system of objects do not change, as long as no outside forces are acting on that system • To find total momentum of objects moving in the SAME direction, add the momenta of the objects. • Objects traveling in opposite directions, subtract the momentum from one another.
