Answer:

The momentum of an object is equal to the product of its mass and its velocity.

Explanation:

Consider an object of mass m travelling at a velocity \vec{v}. The momentum \vec{p} of this object would be:

\vec{p} = m \cdot \vec{v}.

For the law of conservation of momentum, consider two objects: object \rm a and object \rm b. Assume that these two objects collided with each other.

  • Let m_{\rm a} and m_{\rm b} denote the mass of the two objects.
  • Let \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial}) and \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial}) denote the velocity of the two object right before the interaction.
  • Let \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final}) and \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final}) denote the velocity of the two objects right after the interaction.
  • The momentum of the two objects right before the collision would be m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial}) and m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial}), respectively.
  • The momentum of the two objects right after the collision would be m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final}) and m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final}), respectively.

The sum of the momentum of the two objects would be:

  • m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial}) right before the collision, and
  • m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final}) right after the collision.

Assume that the system of these two objects is isolated. By the law of conservation of momentum, the sum of the momentum of these two objects should be the same before and after the collision. That is:

m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{initial}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{initial}) = m_{\rm a}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm a}(\text{final}) + m_{\rm b}\cdot \vec{v}_{\rm b}(\text{final}).

Answer: Bohr's model (1913)

  Niels Bohr improved Rutherford's model. Using mathematical ideas, he showed that electrons occupy shells or energy levels around the nucleus. The Dalton model has changed over time because of the discovery of subatomic particles.

  Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.

  John Dalton

The idea that everything is made of atoms was pioneered by John Dalton (1766-1844) in a book he published in 1808. He is sometimes called the "father" of atomic theory, but judging from this photo on the right "grandfather" might be a better term.
