Momentum Sync
Kinetic Mapping. Analyzing the p = m × v constant. New Horizons monitors the Persistence Buffer to track the energy required to redirect or halt moving mass.
- 🚀 Velocity: Magnitude-Directional Sync.
- ⚖️ Inertia: Mass-Dependent Motion Buffer.
- 🔄 Conservation: Universal Persistence Protocol.
Conservation Sync
Balance Mapping. Analyzing the p_initial = p_final constant. New Horizons monitors the Kinetic Buffer to ensure momentum is never lost in a closed system.
- 🛡️ Closed: External Force Exclusion Sync.
- 💥 Impact: Momentum Transfer Buffer.
- ⚖️ Sum: Total Motion Constant Protocol.
Impulse Sync
Impulse is the change in momentum. It happens when a force acts on an object over a certain period of time (Force × Time).
- ⏱️ Duration: Force-Time Interval Sync.
- 💥 Impact: Peak Force Mitigation Buffer.
- 🔄 Delta: Momentum Shift Protocol.

THE FORMULA
Momentum (p) is the product of mass (m) and velocity (v). Mathematically: **p = mv**. It is a vector, meaning direction matters.
BASICSCONSERVATION
In a closed system, the total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after. Energy may change forms, but p remains constant.
COLLISION LAWSIMPULSE CONNECTION
Impulse is the change in momentum. By applying a force over a longer period of time, you can change an object's momentum significantly.
