Considering conservation of linear momentum (p) allows us to understand many phenomena that we observe, but it is insufficient to describe situations that involve rotation. 8.1 Angular momentum The magnitude of linear momentum is given by p = mv or Continue Reading

7.2 Collisions In a collision: Two or more objects strike each other The total external force is either zero or negligible, and therefore momentum is conserved Collisions are categorized by what happens to the total kinetic energy of the system. Continue Reading

When Isaac Newton was formulating his famous laws of motion, he was not thinking in terms of position, velocity, and acceleration. Instead, he worked with what he called the “quantity of motion.” This was a particular quantity that by itself Continue Reading
