starter • My mass is about 75 kg. When I climb my stairs, I rise vertically by 3 metres. • What is my weight (in newtons)? 750 N • How much gravitational potential energy do I gain? 2250 J
Momentum L.O. Calculate the momentum of a moving object. To use the conservation of momentum to calculate the mass, velocity or momentum of a body involved in a collision or explosion.

How will the truck and car move after they crash into each other?
Use a calculator to work out the momentum in each of these cases: • Jack has a mass of 50 kg and runs with velocity 8 m/s. • A truck of mass 40 000 kg is travelling at 18 m/s (40 mph). • A car of mass 1000 kg is travelling at 31.6 m/s (70 mph). • A train with a mass of 120 000 kg has a velocity of 40 m/s (about 90 mph). • The Earth has a mass of 6 1024 kg and is moving around the Sun with a velocity of 30 000 m/s (about 67 000 mph). Calculate the Earth’s momentum. • A crash report says ‘The train had a momentum of 3 790 000 kg m/s.’ If the train had a mass of 120 000 kg, what was its velocity?
Investigating collisions. Work out the momentum of the objects before and after the collision. Remember momentum have a direction as well as size.
Momentum is conserved whenever objects interact, provided no external forces act on them.
