Momentum ======== Momentum is the product of mass and velocity and is conserved in isolated systems. Key Concepts: ------------- - Linear momentum and impulse - Conservation of momentum - Collisions (elastic and inelastic) Sample Question: ---------------- A 2 kg object moving at 3 m/s collides with a 1 kg object at rest. What is the total momentum after the collision? .. math:: p_{total} = (2 \times 3) + (1 \times 0) = 6\ \text{kg m/s}
