4 Newton`s Second Law of Motion
... • A heavy truck is harder to stop than a small car moving at the same speed. We say that the truck has more momentum than the car. • A small bullet moving at a high speed can have the same large momentum as a huge ship moving at a small speed. By Momentum we mean inertia in motion Momentum = mass ...

Section 9.1 Impulse and Momentum
... Momentum - product of an object’s mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity that has the same direction as the velocity of the object. It is denoted by “p” (lower case). It is mass in motion. The unit for Momentum is kg m/s. To find Momentum you use p = m*v Δp = mΔv FΔt = mΔv = mvF – mvI = Δp = pF ...
