Question about momentum...
If I am to consider these three points as true:
1. A stationary car has NO momentum
2. A moving car HAS momentum
3. As momentum is a conserved property...
So I am wondering where the momentum is conserved when
A. The car goes from say 0 to 60 mph ... from none to some p
B. The car goes from 60 to 0 mph ... from some to none p
Does the car dial in momentum to itself through two drive wheels via the road attached to the planet... ie from the planet
And visa versa on slowing down ie dial it back out from four braking wheels into the road attached to the planet... ie into the planet
any thoughts on this one would be most appreciated
