What is momentum?

Mass in motion

Formula for momentum

p=mvp = mv

Units of momentum

kg⋅m⋅s−1kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}

Is momentum a scalar or vector?

Vector quantity

Direction of momentum vector

Same direction as velocity

Effect of greater mass on momentum (constant velocity)

Greater momentum

Effect of greater velocity on momentum (constant mass)

Greater momentum

Formula for change in momentum

Δp=pf−pi\Delta p = p_f - p_i

Final momentum when object stops

pf=0p_f = 0

Two properties momentum has as a vector

Magnitude and direction
