... Mathematics is a system of logic that we use to discuss physical phenomena. A system of logic consists of entities and of a list of rules that govern how the entities relate to one another. A general term for this is group theory. Of course, this is a very general definition. In physics, entities or ...

... Momentum Conservation: Example • Example: Near the surface of the Earth, a bullet with mass m moving directly upward at speed v = 1,000 m/s strikes and passes through the center of mass of a block of mass M initially at rest as shown in the figure. The bullet then emerges from the block moving dire ...

Momentum
... Momentum is a vector quantity equal to the mass of an object times its velocity. Impulse is equal to the force on an object times the amount of time that the force was applied to the object. The impulse momentum theorem equates impulse to momentum (FΔt = mΔv). Conservation of momentum requires that ...

... Compared to the Earth, Planet X has twice the mass and twice the radius. This means that compared to the amount of energy required to move an object from the Earth’s surface to infinity, the amount of energy required to move that same object from Planet X’s surface to infinity is A. 4 times as much. ...
