MOMENTUM

MOMENTUM = MASS x VELOCITY


(P = m x v)

• Momentum is a vector quantity


that has both magnitude and
direction.
Momentum, mass and velocity

1. The greater the mass of an object,


the greater is its momentum.
2. The greater the velocity of an
object, the greater is its momentum.

Type of collision
1. ELASTIC COLLISION

- An elastic collision is a collision where the


both the momentum and the kinetic energy
are conserved.
2. INELASTIC COLLISION

- In an inelastic collision the
momentum is conserved but the
kinetic energy is not.
