Momentum has an integral part in the field of physics. However, many people do not know the importance of momentum in everyday life or even recognize it. The truth is that we use momentum in just about every activity that involves motion. When we drive a car we use the principles of momentum to realize how much cushion space we need or how much stopping distance is needed when going a certain speed. Momentum is …

…different cases concerning momentum, we were allowed to affirm the validity of the Law of Conservation of Momentum and in the process were offered an opportunity to better understand momentum. Momentum is an extremely important part of science and is used still today, especially in high speed particle collisions involving microscopic particles; even though we can't see the particles, experiments like this one can serve as a model because the basic principles remain the same.
