What Is MomentumEvery moving object has momentum. However, the momentum of a timber lorry is very much bigger than that of a cyclist, despite them moving at the same speed. The product of mass and velocity is called 'momentum'.Unit: SI unit of momentum is kg-m/s. It is a vector quantity.Also Read About: Principle of Conservation of Momentum Activity … [Read more...] about How Do You Solve For Momentum

What is Law of Conservation of Momentum
Law of Conservation of MomentumAccording to law of conservation of momentum "if there is no force acting on a system, the momentum of the system remains unchanged." Generalizing the situation " if a group of bodies are exerting force on each other, their total momentum remains conserved before and after the interaction provided there is no external force acting on … [Read more...] about What is Law of Conservation of Momentum
How Impulse is Related to The Change in Momentum
Impulse of Force From the previous section, you have seen that Newtons Second Law can be summed up by the formula F = ma.When a net force acts on a body, it accelerates in the direction of the force. By definition, acceleration, a is the rate of change in velocity and is given by the formula:Since (mv - mu) is the change of momentum, therefore,or force is equal to … [Read more...] about How Impulse is Related to The Change in Momentum
