What Is MomentumEvery moving object has momentum. However, the momentum of a timber lorry is very much bigger than that of a cyclist, despite them moving at the same speed.The product of mass and velocity is called ‘momentum‘. \(\text{i}\text{.e}\text{. …

Law of Conservation of MomentumAccording to law of conservation of momentum “if there is no force acting on a system, the momentum of the system remains unchanged.”Generalizing the situation ” if a group of bodies are exerting force on each other, their…

Impulse of ForceFrom the previous section, you have seen that Newtons Second Law can be summed up by the formula F = ma.When a net force acts on a body, it accelerates in the direction of the force. By definition, acceleration, a is the rate of change i…
