Momentum-Masses in Motion

Momentum(Kg m/s)= Mass(Kg) x Velocity(m/s)

Momentum Before = Momentum After

Turning Force and Centre of Gravity

Moment = Force x Perpendicular Distance

• The larger the force would mean larger the moment
• The longer the spanner which means the bigger the moment
• If you want the maximum moment you need to…
