This week was an insightful week of momentum. Momentum is very similar to inertia, which is a moving quantity that has direction and magnitude. Momentum can be calculated by multiplying an objects mass (kg) by its velocity (m/s). Boxing can be relative to this because change in momentum is equal to the force times time. So if you punch with a larger forcer it will hit the face faster but if you the force is smaller it will take longer. Despite these opposite ideas they will still have the same momentum. Isnt that mind boggling?
