Explore the concepts of momentum and impulse, their definitions, and applications in physics through this educational resource.

Huge mass, medium velocity would have maybe the same momentum, but it would still have a big momentum. Or another way of doing momentum is how little you would like to be in the way of …

Review your understanding of momentum in this free article aligned to NGSS standards.

Momentum is a vector quantity that has both direction and magnitude. Momentum is symbolized as the letter P and precisely momentum is the mass times the velocity.

The momentum (p) of an object is equal to the object's mass times its velocity (p=mv). Momentum is a a vector quantity which has the same direction as velocity. Momentum is defined for a …

Introducing angular momentum conceptually starting from linear momentum. Also covers some real-life examples.

Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved quantities in elastic collisions. Suppose two similar trolleys are traveling toward each other with equal speed. They collide, bouncing off …

Describe an object's momentum in terms of its mass and velocity. Relate a system's change in momentum to the product of the net force exerted on it and the time interval during which the …

Conservation of momentum is actually a direct consequence of Newton's third law. Consider a collision between two objects, object A and object B. When the two objects collide, there is a …
