Document Summary

Imagine a friend throwing you a ball. When you catch the ball, the impact depends on both the mass of the ball and on its velocity. We thus define momentum of an object as. Momentum can change in two ways- in mass or in velocity. You can have a very massive object that is moving slowly. An aircraft carrier on the ocean will have a large momentum because mass is large even though the velocity is small. You can have a smaller object moving at a high velocity. Someone throwing a 100mph fastball will have a large momentum even with a small mass because of the large velocity. ) takes place over a time interval ( t . Then if we substitute this result into our equation for p p. Now, newton tells us that the acceleration is due to a net force (f = ma).
