Blogpost #13

This weekend, my dorm went camping. So, I brought shampoo and conditioner in two identical (except in color) containers. However, the bottle containing conditioner (the one on the right)has more mass because there is a lot more conditioner in it, as opposed to the bottle containing shampoo. If I were to roll both bottles down a hill at the same velocity, the conditioner bottle would have a greater momentum. This can be deduced because the equation for momentum is momentum = mass times velocity, or p=mv. Since the conditioner bottle has a greater mass, its momentum would be greater than the shampoo bottle.
