Short Description of Topic: The momentum of an object is nonconstant when it is traveling along a curved path, regardless of whether or not it's speed along the curve is changing.
The Main Idea
Such cases of curving motion can be analyzed using the properties of the parallel and perpendicular components of net Force as well as understanding the motion's "Kissing Circle".
Parallel and Perpendicular Components of [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}} }[/math]
===Perpendicular Component and the Kissing What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
