The greater the mass of an object and the greater its velocity, the more momentum it has.
1 of 5
How do you calculate momentum?
Momentum (kg m/s) = Mass (kg) X Velocity (m/s)
2 of 5
How do forces change momentum?
A larger force means a faster change in momentum.
3 of 5
How do you calculate a force acting on a momentum?
Force acting (N) = Change in momentum (kg m/s) / Time taken for change to happen (s)
4 of 5
When is momentum used?
In car collisions, cars are deigned to slow people down over a longer time when they have a crash so the force is lessened e.g. seatbelts stretch to lessen the impact.
