Momentum Transfer

Momentum transfer refers to the process of transferring motion from one object to another. It occurs in everyday situations, like when a moving ball hits a stationary ball, causing the second ball to move. The momentum of the first ball is partially passed on to the second. This principle is fundamental in physics, illustrating how forces and motions interact. It can be seen in various contexts, such as in sports, vehicle collisions, and even in fluids, where the movement of particles affects one another. Understanding momentum transfer helps explain how energy and motion are shared between interacting bodies.
