Momentum (kg-m/s) and Collisions Momentum: p = mv, where p = momentum (kg∙m/s), p and v share the same direction. Impulse: ∆p = F avg∆t or F avg = ∆p/∆t, where ∆p = p final - p initial. Momentum Conservation: If ∑F ext = 0, then ∆p = 0, where ∑F ext = sum of all external forces. If ∆p = 0, then: ∆p x = 0 or m 1v 1i,x + m 2v 2i,x = m 1v 1f,x + m 2v 2f,x and ∆p y = 0 or m
