This poster is designed to stimulate thought and discussion between people who may already know that p stands for momentum and the m and the v stands for mass and velocity….. and those who do not know….. yet.
* That….. Momentum (‘p’) is affected by mass (‘m’)….. which all objects on, in and including the vehicle itself….. have a measure of mass.
* That….. Momentum (‘p’) is affected by velocity (‘v’)….. which all moving objects (in this case relating to moving vehicles)….. have a measure of velocity.

The words “get it?” are very good as it makes you first say no! (if honest as no science knowledge). But this is good as is stimulating for conversation and info on relevant.
The info given with this poster here is well put, able to follow, able to learn.
I am sure they may then “discuss and argue” the points.
Not many would “get it” straight away. So this is great to stimulate discussion. Which would make these visuals a great long term campaign so as to enable and consider “speeding” issues.
As well as speeding issues, I can see that MOMENTUM issues carries more information and so would be great to introduce this into the vocabulary of the motorist and an understanding of the direction bit (that the vector carries).
