Momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and velocity. It represents an object's resistance to changes in its motion when a force acts upon it. Impulse is the change in an object's momentum caused by a force applied over time. The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system is constant before and after an elastic or inelastic collision. Solving momentum problems involves identifying the system and calculating the total initial and final momentums.

3. SHORT
RECAP

4. MOMENTUM
The measure of an object’s resistance to changes in its
state of motion due to the application of a force.
Momentum = mass • velocity
Momentum = mass in motion
p = m • v

5. IMPULSE
When a force is applied to an object, it will result in a
change of momentum. This change may involve a shift
in velocity, such as an increase or decrease in speed, or
a change in direction.
Impulse = Momentum Change
An impulse causes a momentum change

6. SAMPLE PROBLEM:
1) What is the momentum of a child and wagon if the
total mass of the child and a wagon is 22 kg and the
velocity is 1.5 m/s?

21. CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM
Note:
• in studying the momentum of two or
more colliding objects, we need to
consider a closed system or isolated
system.
• in all collisions, momentum is
conserved, because of the law of
conservation of momentum

22. THIRD LAW OF MOTION
NEWTON'S
States for every action, there is an
equal but opposite reaction.

23. LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM
States that:
• when two objects in an isolated
system collide, the total momentum
of the objects before the collision is
equal to the total momentum of the
objects after the collision.

25. SAMPLE PROBLEM:
A 12,600-kg railroad car travels alone on a level frictionless
track with a constant speed of 18.0m/s. A 5350-kg load,
initially at rest, is dropped onto the car. What will be the
car’s new speed?

of putty at rest. What is the speed of the two stuck-
together blobs immediately after colliding?
