  2. Momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

    The unit of momentum is the product of the units of mass and velocity. In SI units, if the mass is in kilograms and the velocity is in meters per second then the momentum is in kilogram meters per second (kg⋅m/s). In cgs units, if the mass is in grams and the velocity in centimeters per second, then the momentum is in gram centimeters per ...

  3. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    In modern notation, the momentum of a body is the product of its mass and its velocity: =, where all three quantities can change over time. Newton's second law, in modern form, states that the time derivative of the momentum is the force: F = d p d t . {\displaystyle \mathbf {F} ={\frac {d\mathbf {p} }{dt}}\,.}

  4. Impulse (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_(physics)

    m is the mass of the object, v 2 is the final velocity of the object at the end of the time interval, and; v 1 is the initial velocity of the object when the time interval begins. Impulse has the same units and dimensions (MLT −1) as momentum. In the International System of Units, these are kg⋅m/s = N⋅s.

  5. Velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

    The average velocity is always less than or equal to the average speed of an object. This can be seen by realizing that while distance is always strictly increasing, displacement can increase or decrease in magnitude as well as change direction. In terms of a displacement-time (x vs. t) graph, the instantaneous velocity (or, simply, velocity ...

  6. Demore Barnes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demore_Barnes

    Demore Barnes (born February 26, 1976) is a Canadian actor. Barnes is best known for his roles as Sergeant First Class Hector Williams in the CBS military action television series The Unit, the archangel Raphael in Supernatural and Deputy Chief Christian Garland in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

  7. Time in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_physics

    In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of time is the second (symbol: s). It has been defined since 1967 as "the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom", and is an SI base unit. [12]

  8. Variable-mass system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-mass_system

    At instant 1, a mass dm with velocity u is about to collide with the main body of mass m and velocity v. After a time dt, at instant 2, both particles move as one body with velocity v + dv. The following derivation is for a body that is gaining mass . A body of time-varying mass m moves at a velocity v at an initial time t.

  9. Euler's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_laws_of_motion

    Internal forces between the particles that make up a body do not contribute to changing the momentum of the body as there is an equal and opposite force resulting in no net effect. [3] The linear momentum of a rigid body is the product of the mass of the body and the velocity of its center of mass v cm. [1] [4] [5]
