What is the formula for momentum?

p⃗=mv⃗\vec{p} = m\vec{v}

What are the SI units of momentum?

kg⋅m⋅s−1\text{kg} \cdot \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}

What type of quantity is momentum?

Vector quantity

A 200 g ball moves at 5 m⋅s−15 \text{ m} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}. What is its momentum?

1.0 kg⋅m⋅s−11.0 \text{ kg} \cdot \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}

How can Newton's second law be expressed using momentum?

F⃗net=Δp⃗Δt\vec{F}_{\text{net}} = \frac{\Delta \vec{p}}{\Delta t}

What does the law of conservation of momentum state?

Total momentum in isolated system is constant

In an interaction, if object A's momentum changes by Δp⃗A\Delta \vec{p}_A, what happens to object B?

Δp⃗B=−Δp⃗A\Delta \vec{p}_B = -\Delta \vec{p}_A

How is conservation of momentum applied in two dimensions?

Separately in x and y directions

When does the law of conservation of momentum apply?

In isolated systems with no external forces

In what direction does an object's momentum point?

Same direction as the object's velocity
