- MOMENTUM
- Momentum is mainly about how much umph an object has, its a property that all moving objects have.
- The bigger, faster and the more velocity an object has, the more momentum it will have.
- Momentum is a vector quantity, it has size and direction.
- You can work out momentum using the equation: P=MV
- MOMENTUM = MASS X VELOCITY
- You can work out momentum using the equation: P=MV
- Momentum is a vector quantity, it has size and direction.
- Scalar and Vector Quantities
- A moving car hits the back of a parked car. he crash causes the two cars to lock together and they continue moving in the direction that the original moving car was travelling but at a lower velocity.
- Before, the momentum was equal to the mass of the moving car X its velocity. After:The mass of the moving object has increased but its momentum is equal to the momentum before the collision.
- Lots of physical quantities are vector quantities: Vector quantities, force, velocity, displacement, acceleration and momentum.
- Some physical quantities only have magnitude, (no direction), these are called SCALAR quantities Eg. speed, distance, mass, temperature and time. .
