Calculating Momentum & Friction Force

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between momentum and friction, clarifying that momentum is defined as p=mv and cannot be contained within a force. The question posed about finding momentum in the context of friction is addressed, with an emphasis on understanding momentum loss due to friction instead. Participants express confusion over the terminology used, highlighting the need for clearer phrasing. The conversation underscores the distinction between momentum and the force of friction. Overall, the interaction emphasizes the importance of precise language in discussing physics concepts.

Is there any ways to find the momentum in force of friction of an object? What is the equation formula to find the force of friction in momentum?

Pfff... What did you ask?
Momentum cannot be "in" a force. Momentum is p=mv.
Did you mean "momentum lose because of friction"?
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
