But what is angular momentum? Let's take a step back. Linear momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity (direction and speed). A passenger in a moving car that stops abruptly ...

What is momentum ? As defined by all writers on mechanics, it is the product of the mass of a body multiplied by its velocity. As understood by a majority of their readers, it conveys a different ...

Step 1: FBDs Draw an FBD of A+P. Step 2: Kinetics (linear impulse/momentum) Look for forces acting in the x-direction for your FBD. Is linear momentum conserved in that direction? Also, note that you ...

With such a system, you can avoid dealing with the internal contact force when using the linear impulse-momentum equation. Step 1: FBDs Draw an FBD of A+B. Step 2: Kinetics (linear impulse/momentum) ...
