Momentum

An Indescribable force? An illusion?

If you get technical, what really is it?

technically, it's Mass times Velocity

ρ = mv

huh? Ok what?

Maybe I don't want you to get technical without first explaining what it is in the first place. Seems to be an invisible force no?

I'm speaking in terms of say, sports for example. If said team scores 3 touchdowns with very little effort, they have momentum. Or if said basketball team makes consecutive baskets, it seems to affect both offensive and defensive play.

Is this simply a lifting of attitude? Is the other team simply intimidated? Is it just in ones own mind?

Momentum of an object is just the velocity of that object proportioned to its mass.

So two objects, same mass, the faster object has higher momentum. Two objects, same speed, the heavier object has more momentum.

That is under Newtonian physics anyway. It gets more complicated with relativity and quantum mechanics.

a thing in motion has the propensity of keeping that motion going, it takes little energy to continue without changing direction.

we have a lot of momentum effects among our thoughts in the stream of consciousness

No, momentum is not a force.  Its a property of an object.  Force causes a change in that property, a change in momentum.

An object's force is similar, as far as the equation goes though. Applied Force is F = ma (Mass x Acceleration)

A little bit of each I guess.  Id say momentum is usually applied in a ad hoc fashion to describe the past.  That is, people will usually say the team had momentum, not the team now has momentum. 

I dont watch sports though.  :tongue:
