... Mass is a vector quantity. The mass of a body is directly proportional to the acceleration it is experiencing. The unit of mass in the U.S. customary system is the newton. The mass of a body is inversely proportional to the resultant force acting on it. ...

Momentum: The quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a
... Momentum is conserved; it cannot be created or destroyed. Any changes in momentum of a body will generate changes in momentum elsewhere in its system. Momentum is a different quantity from kinetic energy in that its velocity is not squared. If two objects collide, their respective momentums will bot ...

... As we have learned, mass is a form of potential energy. It can be converted into energy, or energy can be converted into mass. Because of this, mass does not have to be conserved in reactions. If you throw two balls at each other and they stick together (an inelastic collision), the resulting mass i ...

... Two stones of equal masses are hung as shown below. One hangs from an inextensible thread while the other hangs from an inextensible thread tied to a light spring as shown below. When the two masses are raised to the same height and suddenly dropped, thread A breaks while B does not. Explain. ...
