Mass, Momentum, Energy Coservation
Mass, momentum, energy coservation
Good Day..
Momentum is the tendency of an object to continue moving.
Example:
Which of the two toy vehicles was more difficult to stop, the lighter one or the heavier one?
- The heavier one is more difficult to stop. This is because it possesses a greater inertia in motion which depends on an object's mass and velocity.
Newton's First Law of Motion is also known as law of inertia.
An object motion is also known as inertia in momentum. For objects moving at the same velocity, massive object (greater mass) has more inertia in motion therefore a greater momentum. Momentum depends on two factors such as velocity and mass. Momentum is equal to mass × velocity.
Momentum can also be conserved during collision of two objects. Elastic collision conserve momentum and energy. Inelastic collision momentum is conserve but energy is transformed.
Hope it helps...=)
