Document Summary

Linear momentum is the mass of an object multiplied by velocity. Isaac newton called this the "quantity of motion" that an object had. Linear momentum can come from the mass or the velocity. Linear momentum will tell you where you are going to go (exc. When you lose traction on the road linear momentum is going to tell you where your car is going to go: velocity always goes tangent to the pathway that you are following. F= (m2-m1)/delta t can be rearranged to: the quantity of force times time is called "linear impulse, rearranged this would look like: Landing on concrete vs. landing on a mattress- mattress lengthens the time of impact) Slowing impulse: to slow the ball down to zero momentum, she needs to apply an impulse in the opposite direction of 10 kgm/s. Land with straight knees and f is large at delta t very short (ouch)
