Momentum is a vector quantity that depends equally on an object's mass and velocity. The SI unit for momentum is kg • m/s.

      In an inelastic collision the total kinetic energy after the collision is not equal to the total kinetic energy before the collision.

      The law of conservation of angular momentum states that when no external torque acts on an object, no change of angular momentum will occur.

      Newton’s first law of motion describes inertia. According to this law, a body at rest tends to stay at rest, and a body in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted on by a net external force.

For example, if two ice skaters hook arms as they pass by one another, they will spin in circles. We will not consider such rotation until later, and so for now we arrange things so that no rotation is possible. To avoid rotation, we consider only the scattering of point masses—that is, structureless particles that cannot rotate or spin.

      Linear momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object, it is conserved in elastic and inelastic collisions.
