What does the conservation of momentum theory state
It states that the total momentum in a closed system before an event, is equal to the total momentum after an event
What is the momentum formula
P = mv
What units are the mass, velocity, and momentum given in respectively
kg, m/s, kgm/s
What does the M stand for in the momentum formula
It stands for mass, given in kg
What does the V stand for in the momentum formula
It stands for velocity, given in m/s
What does the P stand for in the momentum formula
It stands for momentum, given in kgm/s
What is the formula that is used to calculate the force required to change an objects momentum over a period of time?
F = Change in momentum/time
