Another situation momentum occurs is in football. A defender has two options of using momentum when tackling. The first one is hitting the opposing teams player with great momentum, or absorbing the opposing teams player's momentum.

Post #14 - Momentum
Today in class we started the second semester with unit 7. Unit 7 focuses on momentum which is moving inertia. The equation for momentum is momentum (p) = mass x velocity. The units for momentum is kg x m/s or N.
I took a picture of two baseballs to show momentum. The ball on the right is rolled towards the direction of the other ball. According to the law of conservation of momentum, in a closed system, momentum of a system is always conserved. So in this situation, the ball being rolled to the other ball should transfer its momentum to the other ball and the ball should take the momentum and roll. The ball being rolled continues its path but not at the same velocity.

with the way you spit seeds yesterday i knew that you where a baseball player! i like how you used real life examples outside of the 4 walls of the physics class room. good job explaining and keep up the good work.
