Perfect Momentum Simulator
Compare how momentum affects motion with different masses
Frictionless
With Friction
Heavy Ball (Red)
1 kg
10 kg
20 kg
1 m/s
5 m/s
20 m/s
Light Ball (Blue)
1 kg
2 kg
20 kg
1 m/s
10 m/s
20 m/s
Momentum Comparison
Red Ball Momentum: 50 kg·m/s
Blue Ball Momentum: 20 kg·m/s
Distance Ratio: 2.5×
The red ball has more momentum and will move farther
Simulation
Key Concepts
Momentum (p) = mass × velocity
With friction: Distance = (mass × velocity²) / (2 × friction)
Without friction: Distance ∝ momentum (distance = velocity × time)
