physics Linear momentum: \vec p=m\vec v \vec p is momentum in kg * m/s

Summary

  • Momentum: \vec p=m\vec v
  • It's a vector
  • Doubling either mass or velocity doubles momentum
  • In one dimension, assign positive and negative signs
  • Collision is an interaction where forces between objects are much larger than net external force on system
  • Explosion is interaction where internal forces push parts of a system apart
