What if you bump into another player

bigger than you?

Momentum is a commonly
used term in sports. A team
that has momentum is on the
move and is going to take
some effort to stop. A team
that has a lot of momentum is
really on the move and is going
to be hard to stop.
 Momentum = mass • velocity

WHERE:
Unit: kg•m/s
Sample Problem 2
If a truck has a mass of 1000
kilograms and is traveling with a
speed of v = 50 m/s, what is its
momentum? (Use the GRESA method)
Sample Problem 3
What is the momentum of a
child and wagon if the total mass
of the child and wagon is 22kg and
the velocity is 1.5m/s?
(Use the GRESA method)
