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
