... Impact and Momentum - definition and units In this leaflet the concepts of Impulse and Momentum will be introduced. Momentum If the mass of an object is m and it has a velocity v, then the momentum of the object is defined to be its mass multiplied by its velocity. momentum= mv Momentum has both mag ...

Angular momentum
... Since there is no external torque, the overall angular momentum of the system remains the same which is how we solved the problem. Note that if we just consider the disk, the angular momentum decreased. Where did the torque come from? When the mass lands, friction acts to cause an acceleration of th ...
