Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on Newtonian dynamics. It describes mass and velocity. The chapter explains the law of linear momentum conservation. The total linear momentum before the interaction of an object is equal to the total linear momentum after the interaction of the object. For any system of objects subject to zero net external force, the total linear momentum of the system remains constant. The chapter presents that linear momentum is a vector quantity. The conservation of a vector quantity means that the components of the vector are independently conserved. A force that is applied to an object changes only the momentum component along the direction of the force; the momentum component perpendicular to the direction of the force is not affected.
