22
Q

Momentum equation

A

Momentum = mass x velocity

23
Q

Conservation of mass equation

A

Total mass before = total mass after

24
Q

Rate of change of momentum equation

A

Rate of change of momentum = change in momentum / time

25
Recoil def
Momentum is conserved when 2 objects explode apart Momentum in first object must be the same in the second
26
Recoil velocity equation
Recoil velocity = mass x speed
