On Friday's class we finished up learning about free fall and terminal velocity. We then started learning about momentum. Momentum can be described as "inertia in motion". The more mass and velocity an object has, the more momentum. This can be found through the formula p=mv.
ex. What is the momentum of a 1 kg piece of fecal matter being flung by a monkey at 15 m/s [E]?
m= 1kg p=mv
v= 15 m/s [E] p= (1 kg)(15 m/s[E])
p= ? p= 15 kgxm/s [E]
On monday's class we started setting up for impulse and momentum lab. We answered some general question about momentum and how if an object is in contact with a force for a longer period of time, it will have more momentum.
Next up is Dylann. Sorry my blog post sucks.
