Our next chapter we will be covering is momentum. In order to begin this new unit, Mr. Blake wanted ut to make our blogpost about either what we think momentum is using our own personal knowledge, or doing research on it. Because I don't really know anything about momentum, I did some research. I first looked up the definition of momentum and dictionary.com gave me: "the force or speed of movement of an object". I then looked in our textbooks for more answers. The first thing in the textbook about momentum was linear momentum. Linear momentum is defined as the product of the mass and velocity of an object. The example it gave me basically said that if you catch a fast enough light-weighted ball and compare it to catching a heavy, slow moving ball, then you will move with the same speed. This helped me to learn a little about momentum. Before this small research, I only knew how to use the term "momentum" in speaking, but I never really knew what it was. Now I know something about it!
