Momentum
Now that you have learned about transportation systems and how many vehicles are on the roads in Canada, let's turn our attention to safety in transportation. In this lesson, you will learn about two important aspects to know when you are thinking about how safe you are on the road: velocity and momentum. Velocity and momentum both affect braking ability and collision damage.

In this lesson, you will:
- learn about velocity and how it is calculated
- learn about conservation of momentum
- learn about changing momentum
Key terms for this lesson:
- force
- friction
- impulse
- momentum
- motion
- velocity
