Intro:
Do you ever wonder how much motion is present in your body when you’re in
motion?
Momentum can simply be defined as the “mass in motion” So whether it is a car

moving, a person running, or a ball rolling down a hill, it has momentum.
Momentum depends upon the variables mass and velocity. The equation for
momentum is equal to the mass of the object x the velocity of the object. The equation
can be written as p=mv. Where p stands for momentum m for mass and v for velocity.
Momentum is expressed with SI units of p= kg · m/s. Momentum is directly
proportional to an object’s mass and directly proportional to the object’s velocity.
This means that if a car increases either its mass or velocity, the momentum will also
increase
Any object with momentum is going to be hard to stop. In order for the object to stop,
we must apply a force against its motion for a given period of time. The more
momentum an object has, the greater amount of force and time is required.
For example, a car and a truck are traveling at the same speed. if the drivers hit the
breaks at the same time, the truck will take longer to stop because greater force is
applied to the breaks since it has more momentum due to its mass.
When force is applied upon the object for a given amount of time, it’s velocity is
changed hence the object’s momentum is also changed. The change in momentum is
called impulse.
In a collision, an object experiences impulse. The impulse experienced by the object is

equal to the change of momentum of the object. The equation for impulse is written as
F • t = m • ∆v where the quantity Force • time is known as impulse. And the quantity
m•Δv is the change in momentum. Impulse can also be written as Δp = pf – pi or Δp =
m vf – m vi
Let’s say that a ball collides with the wall and then bounces back. Furthermore, before
hitting the wall, the mass of the ball is 1.0 kg and its velocity is 5 m/s. Moreover, after
hitting the wall its velocity becomes -5 m/s (it is negative because it has bounced back
in the opposite direction). Now lest calculate for the impulse of the ball
Solution:
Δp = pf – pi
Δp = m(vf) – m( vi)
Δp = (1.0 kg)(-5 m/s) – (1.0 kg) (5 m/s)
Δp = -5 kg m/s -5 kg m/s
Δp = 10 kg m/s
The relationship between impulse and momentum is stated in the impulse-momentum

theorem where the impulse applied to an object will be equal to the change in its
momentum. F Δ t = Δ p it can also be expressed as F Δ t=m(vf)−m(vi).
In calculating the change of momentum, we will subtract the initial momentum

(m(vi)) from the final momentum (m(vf)). If the mass of the object doesn’t change
during the collision, then the initial and final mass is the same thus removing the other
m on the right side of the equation.
An object gains momentum when you apply force to it. When an object loses
momentum, it must share force with another object for a certain amount of time.
The impulse-momentum theorem describes conservation of linear momentum.

Conservation of linear momentum is based on Newton’s second law of motion which
states that in an isolated system the total momentum remains the same.
An example conservation of linear momentum is bowling. It is a target sport in which

a heavy metallic ball is rolled down the playing lane in the direction of an orderly
placed stack of pins with the goal of knocking out as many pins as possible. The
bowling ball begins to move and gain velocity as soon as the player rolls it. As a
result, the rolling ball accumulates a tremendous amount of momentum. Because the
initial velocity of the pins is still equal to zero, the pins have no momentum at this
time. When the bowling ball strikes the pins, the pins lose their resting position and
begin to move. This means that the pins begin to develop velocity and momentum
after and throughout the contact. In this example, the momentum of distinct objects in
the bowling game system before and after the collision is conserved throughout the
process, implying that the rule of conservation of momentum may be easily confirmed
by watching a bowling game.
