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
     
    =

    F
     
    t.
  • The change in linear momentum is equal to the impulse and vice-versa-J=∆p.
