Category Archives: Momentum

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Its units can be expressed as kg m/s or Ns. Based on the definition, two objects of different masses can have the same momentum by having different velocities. For example, a pebble of 1 g traveling at 300 m/s has the same momentum as 300 g plasticineContinue reading “On momentum, impulse, and conservation of momentum”
