Momentum

(for unknown historical reasons, momentum is always abbreviated with a "p")

P.S.P.1: I can draw an interaction diagram and clearly specify the system and the surroundings for evey problem

P.S.P.2: I can write the definition of momentum

P.S.P.3: I can calculate the momentum of an object at any speed, with direction and proper units

P.S.P.4: I can calculate the average rate of change of momentum

P.S.P.5: I can apply the reciprocity property of momentum to the interactions between objects

P.S.P.6: I can use momentum conservation to solve different problems

P.S.P.7: I can interpret/draw the position-time, velocity-time, and momentum-time graphs for an object

P.S.P.8: I can explain in what way momentum is a foundational concept of physics
