Momentum — Supplement Learning Objectives
Summary
- Define momentum as mass x velocity; recall and use the equation p = mv
- Define impulse as force x time for which force acts; recall and use the equation impulse = FΔt = Δ(mv)
- Apply the principle of the conservation of momentum to solve simple problems in one dimension
- Define resultant force as the change in momentum per unit time; recall and use the equation F = Δp/Δt
