Second Law
Third Law For every action, there is always an equal and opposite collinear reaction-
Linear momentum {p) ol a body is known as the quantity of motion and is defined as the
product of its mass (m) and its velocity (y).
lmpulse changes the momentum of a body. The change in momentum of a body can be
determined by calculating the area under a Force - Time graph.

law of conservation of linear momentum states that when obtects of a closed system interact,
their total momentum before impact is equal to their total momentum after impact, if no net
externalforce acts on the closed system.

Note 1: remember to take into account the srgn conventions of the velocities when dealing with
questions involving momentum and impulse!
Note 2: this concept oI conservation of momentum is usefut in solving questions that involving {a)
moving {body) bodies that undergoes cotlision/contact.
