1.6 Momentum

Curriculum
Cambridge IGCSE Physics
Theme or group
Motion, forces and energy
Current framework
Examinations in 2026–2028 · Version 2 (December 2025)

Focus on linear momentum, impulse, force–time graphs, and one-dimensional conservation.

Mastery checklist

Know what success looks like.

  1. 01

    Define the system, then show every external interaction with a clear direction.

  2. 02

    Apply Newton's laws or a conservation law component by component.

  3. 03

    Test the result against units, limiting cases, and the direction of the predicted change.

Exam lens

Build, apply, check.

1.6 Momentum sits inside Motion, forces and energy. Build the concept first, then practise selecting a model, showing working, and checking the final result.
