Velocity and Momentum

A
object has a property called
that is related to how much
is
needed to
its
Momentum (

is given the symbol

and can
be calculated with the following equation:

The

for momentum is
. Notice that momentum has a
because

.
When two objects have the same
, the one
with the
mass has the
momentum
The 1,000-kg car traveling at 20 m/s east has a momentum
of 20,000 kgm/s east.

What about the truck?
