Since equation 1 is a vector quantity, we can have situations in which only some components of the resultant force are zero. Let as recall the material from the lecture n3 equation of motion. Momentum is the most important quantity when it comes to handling collisions in physics. From this equation, it can be deduced that the resultant force acting on an object is given by the rate of change of momentum and that the change in momentum is in the direction of the force. Hence the inward ux of clockwise angular momentum is positive and the outward ux of clockwise angular momentum is negative. Isaac newtons second law of motion states that the time rate of change of momentum is equal to the force acting on the particle.
