Linear Momentum
- Linear momentum (→p) is the product of both velocity and mass:
→p
= m →v. - Notice that linear momentum uses velocity, not speed. That means momentum is a vector quantity.
- The unit for linear momentum is kg ·[m/s].
- Impulse (→J) is a way to talk about changes in linear momentum:
→J
= →Ft. - The change in linear momentum is equal to the impulse and vice-versa-→J=∆→p.
