Lesson: Linear Momentum Mathematics

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the momentum of a particle moving in a straight line using the formula 𝐻 = 𝑚𝑣.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

calculate the momentum of a particle given its mass and velocity using the formula ,
calculate the momentum of a particle given the information required to calculate its mass and velocity (this includes using the equations of motion to calculate unknown values),
calculate change in momentum given an initial and final velocity,
calculate the change in momentum for a particle between two times given its acceleration and mass.
