  1. Momentum and Impulse Theorem By CorinaBot

  2. Definition: Momentum can be defined as "mass in motion." All objects have mass  if an object is moving, then it has momentum  it has its mass in motion. • Examples: • air bags in automobiles. Air bags are used in automobiles because they are able to minimize the affect of the force on an object involved in a collision. Air bags accomplish this by extending the timerequired to stop the momentum of the driver and passenger. • Newton’s cradle http://femto.cs.uiuc.edu/~sbond/reports/MATH_996/newtonscradle-animation.gif http://www.physicsclassroom.com

  3. A car is traveling at a velocity of 20 m/s on a straight road. Mass of the car is 1300 kg. A motorcycle passes the car at a speed of 40 m/s. The motorcycle with its rider has a mass of 370kg. Which one has a higher momentum? Why ? For the car: For the motorcycle and rider: The car has more momentum than the motorcycle even though its velocity is half.

  4. When a force is applied to a rigid body it changes the momentum of that body. Impulse = Change in momentum Momentum examples video www.sciencemuseum.org.uk http://www.salk.edu/
