Momentum -“mass in motion” • Mass = How much of something there is. • Motion = any movement or change in position or time.
Variables • Momentum depends on: how much stuff is moving (mass) and how fast the stuff is moving (velocity). • What else depends on mass and velocity?
Formula • P=M*V • In physics, the symbol for momentum is p. • M is mass (in kg) • V is velocity in (m/s) • Unit of momentum (p) = kg * m/s
Check For Understanding 1. Determine the momentum of a ... • 60-kg halfback moving eastward at 9 m/s. 60 * 9 = 540 kg * m/s b. 1000-kg car moving northward at 20 m/s. 1000 * 20 = 20,000 kg * m/s c. 40-kg freshman moving southward at 2 m/s. 40 * 2 = 80 kg * m/s
What does the equation mean? • Momentum is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to both mass and velocity.
Check For Understanding 1. A car possesses 20,000 units of momentum. What would be the car's new momentum if ... • a. its velocity was doubled. • b. its velocity was tripled. • c. its mass was doubled (by adding more passengers and a greater load) • both its velocity was doubled and its mass was doubled.
Check For Understanding 1. A car possesses 20,000 units of momentum. What would be the car's new momentum if ... • a. its velocity was doubled. 40,000 • b. its velocity was tripled. 60,000 • c. its mass was doubled (by adding more passengers and a greater load) 40,000 • both its velocity was doubled and its mass was doubled. 80,000 (quadruple)
Momentum of stationary object = 0 • KE of stationary object = ?
