yay
a physics question

anonymous · Answer

ok are you farmiliar with the equation for force?

alyssakin · Answer

I am, I just forget alot of it

anonymous · Answer

oh nvm its simpler than that

anonymous · Answer

momentum, or p is the energy stored in an object when its moving

anonymous · Answer

you know how a truck traveling the same speed as a baseball will hit alot harder?

anonymous · Answer

well thats becuase of momentum, which is: p=m*v

anonymous · Answer

or momentum=mass*velocity

alyssakin · Answer

ohh okay, thank you. I think I struggle with the formulas more than anything.

anonymous · Answer

Well be sure that you also start off by organizing your problem

anonymous · Answer

everytime i start a problem i write all my knowns, 
Mf=0.25 kg
Mb=0.05 kg
vb= 500m/s
and
vf=?

anonymous · Answer

but do understand how to find it now that i gave you the formula?

anonymous · Answer

i would print out a formula sheet too

alyssakin · Answer

okay, thank you
