The definition of momentum is the property of a moving body. Momentum is a vector quantity that can be found using the equation momentum (p)=mass x velocity. We also learned that, in an isolated system, momentum in has to equal momentum out
Impulse is the average force multiplied by the time of contact/the change in momentum.
In class, we talked about how when something runs into something, the total momentum is divided between the two. When it collides with a stationary object, a moving object will come to a halt and the stationary object, in theory would move at the same velocity the other did.
