Mr. Biando's Lab - Momentum
| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| A quanity defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object. | Momentum |
| p= m x v | Equation for Momentum |
| kg•m/s | units for momentum |
| How much matter an object is made of. | mass |
| a speed of an object in a particular direction. | velocity |
| Any time objects collide, the total amount of momentum stays the same. | Law of Conservation of Momentum |
| When objects bounce off each other and transfer all or some of their momentum to the other objects causing them to move in either the same or different directions. | Elastic Collision |
| When object stick together during a collision and the masses combine changing the momentum of the combined objects by changing it's velocity. | Inelastic Collision |
| The law of motion that can explain momentum. | Newton's Third Law |
