Momentum and direction

Before and after one-dimensional trolley collision and a football kick showing impulse and change in momentum Momentum tells us how much motion an object has. It depends on mass and velocity, so direction matters as soon as you work in one dimension.

Momentum Lesson

  1. IGCSE
  2. /Physics
  3. /Momentum

Step-by-step lessons covering CIE IGCSE Physics Momentum for Core and Extended tier. Each lesson breaks down Momentum, then works through exam-style questions in Paper 1 and Paper 3 (Core) or Paper 2 and Paper 4 (Extended), plus Paper 5 or Paper 6 format. Build a strong foundation in mechanics and electricity before tackling the more mathematically demanding astrophysics and nuclear topics.
