Yes, there is. Momentum is velocity times mass. So you could, for example, calculate the momentum of the puck from its mass and its velocity. --------------------------------------- The answer above assumes that 'momentum' refers to the definition in physics, the answer below does not. --------------------------------------- since Ice Hockey is such a fast paced game , momentum is usually seen as one team incurs a penalty or two at the same time. this brings about an odd man situation where one team will outnumber the other 5 on 4 or 5 on 3 !! Not many sports have such penalties ! in these cases there is usually a momentum swing . either by the team scoring on this powerplay or the shorthanded team shutting out the opposition during the shorthanded situation ! momentum does exists as goals are scored and the scored on team becomes deflated

What is the website for science in hockey?
In 2001, the "Physics of Hockey: Sliding Friction and Momentum on Ice" was born. It is the top site for information. Now it is simply called Hockey Physics 2.0. Go there: http://www.hockeyphysics.com
What determines who will get knocked backward when a big hockey player checks a small hockey player in a head-on collision?
Conservation of momentum. Who will get knocked backwards depends on the masses of the players, and on the velocity of each one.
How do hockey players use force to change another player's momentum?
A player well ram into players of opposing teams as they attempt to move in opposite direction. Another way to slow down momentum is to skate along side and the push them into the wall.
Why is hockey used in physics in school?
Hockey is a good example of many simple phenomena in physics: a puck sliding across ice or, manifested in field hockey, a ball across turf (friction and momentum). Hockey can be played in variants, on ice, on hard surface (floor hockey) and turf (field), as demonstrated by the puck/ball being hit (friction, force, acceleration, rotational torque, impulse), players being hit (also momentum, tensile stress, thermodynamics), the ball falling along a parabolic path (projectile motion), etc. The surface the game is played on lies the beauty of physics: ice requires a Zamboni machine (kinematics and low temperature physics).
Is criket should be national game of India?
Cricket need not be the national game of India. Hockey is already the national game. The popularity of Hockey and its fans in the country cannot be brought down while considering Cricket. Cricket's momentum in the country will neither be affected as in the present situation.
What Does it Men To Momentum is Conserved?
When momentum is conserved, the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum.
How do you find magnitude of final momentum?
Use this formula:Final momentum = (initial momentum) + (change in momentum)
What is momentum define?
what is the definition for momentum
What is the most fastest game ice hockey or cricket?
Ice hockey is generally faster because you can build up a lot more momentum as you travel across the playing surface. That forces players to make choices at a quicker rate. Beyond cricket and hockey, the fastest team sport is probably "hurling," a sport popular in Ireland. Hurling is a lot like lacrosse and field hockey. Check out blogs like "Hurley to Rise" for more information.
What does conversation of momentum mean?
Conservation of momentum means that momentum is a constant and the change of momentum or force is zero.
What is it called when momentum can be transferred but the total momentum does not change?
conservation of momentum
The product of mass and velocity?
It's momentum.
