Momentum ppt- silpa
A car has greater mass than a bicycle so if moving at the same speed, the car's momentum is greater due to its higher mass. The document then shows how to calculate the momentum of a 11.35kg wagon rolling at 12m/s using the momentum formula of p=mv. Inserting the known values gives a momentum of 136.2 kg x m/s for the wagon rolling down the hill.

- 6. If you comparethe motion of a car and a child's bicycle you can see how an object's mass contributes to momentum. A car has a much greater mass than a bicycle, so if they were both moving at 10m/s, then the momentum of the car would be greater.
- 7. Problem: Calculatethe momentum of a 11.35kg wagon rolling down a hill at 12m/s. Step 1 : Write down the equation needed for solving momentum. p = mv Step 2: Insert all known measurements into the formula. p = (11.35kg) (12m/s) Step 3: Solve. Carefully enter all numerical values into your calculator. p = 136.2 kg x m/s down the hill.
