One thing we learned this week was momentum and how it works. Momentum can be defined in different ways however they are fairly similar. One definition I have is: Momentum is the speed or force of forward movement. An example of this in real life is when on car gets into an accident with another. A lot of times, accidents occur in parking lots or when people aren't paying attention at a stop light. When one moving car hits another non-moving car, the momentum from one car is transferred into the other car. To determine the amount of momentum, we use a simple formula, p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.
