Momentum


This is my toy car that I rolled across my floor. The unit that we are now starting for our physics class is on momentum. I think that momentum is the force of the mass and velocity that something is going. For example, if someone was driving their car at 120 miles per hour and then tried to stop instantaneously, it would not happen because the car would have too much momentum. The car would have too much mass going at a high velocity, therefore making it impossible for the car to stop instantaneously. The formula for momentum is "Momentum = mass x velocity"
