 ====== Example: Calculating the momentum of a slow-moving object ======
-A [[http://s.hswstatic.com/gif/1971-1980-ford-pinto-1971.jpg|1971 Ford Pinto]] is observed to moving with a velocity of $\langle 22.35, 0, 1.06\rangle\:\dfrac{m}{s}$. Determine the momentum of this sweet ride.

 We compute the momentum vector.
- $\vec{p} = m_{car} \vec{v}_{car} = (884.05 kg) \langle 22.35, 0, 1.06\rangle\dfrac{m}{s} =$
+$$\vec{p}_{car} = m_{car} \vec{v}_{car} = (884.05 kg) \langle 22.35, 0, 1.06\rangle\dfrac{m}{s} = \langle 1.98 \times 10^4, 0, 9.37 \times 10^2\rangle \dfrac{kg\:m}{s}$$
