Journal 6: Momentum is Masked.  Momentum can be found everywhere around us as most of physics can. This principle/ concept of physics is a vector quantity of motion as is defined as an object's mass times its velocity and is represent by the small letter p.  Thus the equation for momentum stands as p=mv, its units in kilgram times mass divided by time; kgm/s.  This concept can be found in moving cars, pool balls, actually generally anything moving.  Now, although seen with the example of the clicky-clack balls as Mr.Kohara stated this automatically reminded me of them.  My brother created this bola to throw and trap my brother in, though it is too small to do its intended purpose.  So when he threw it at me I easily caught it at the black handle and I saw the green and red ball hit each other and the clicky-clack balls came to mind.  Now these balls just as this bola exhibit the law of conservation of momentum, basically none of the momentum is lost.  In a real clicky-clack ball set up, the metal balls would continue swinging for quite awhile, however, the balls in the bola would swing for only less of the time.  Although the green ball may look bigger I confirmed with my brother he used the same amount of clay, just that the green one was smashed a little bit.  In this example, kinetic energy is also conserved and the energy remains constant throughout the system.  So the clicky-clack balls and the bola are basically the same physics example of momentum hiding where you would least expect it. -Seriously anyone know how to get the pictures up?
