Maggie Haas Reiter Honors Physic 8 March 2015 Background Information: Anything that has mass and is moving has momentum. Momentum is equal to the objects mass times its velocity. Momentum is conserved‚ which means that “momentum before an event equals momentum immediately after‚ or pi=pf”. Since pi=pf‚ then pai+ pbi = paf+ pbf and (ma* vai)+ (mb* vbi)= (ma* vaf) + (mb * vbf). Having velocity simply means that an object has a speed and direction. Using the formula “(ma * vai) + (mb * vbi)
