You can calculate momentum by multiplying an object's mass (in kilograms) and its velocity (in meters per second).
Momentum is measured in units of kilogram-meters per second.
Which has more momentum, a 0.046-kilogram golf ball with a speed of 60.0 meters per second, or a 7.0-kilogram bowling ball with a speed of 6.0 meters per second?
The bowling ball has considerably more momentum than the golf ball.
Explain a Sequence Write a paragraph about one of the amusement park rides shown on the time line. Describe the motion of the ride using Newton's laws of motion. (Hint: Before you write, use a diagram to analyze the forces acting on the ride at a particular moment.)
