We got a UPS slip (and an automated phone message when we got home) that UPS was delivering a package today. We haven't ordered anything, so we know it's a win. I go to the I.D. number and it says it's from Berkeley, MO (and on the slip it said it was from "momentum".

I have no idea how heavy the package is, as it doesn't say. I tried looking it up but can't find it... I did find a Momentum Cycles in MO... I wonder if it's a bike? ha

We can't pick it up until Monday, so of course it will drive me crazy until then haha

If anyone knows who/what Momentum is, or what this might be (or what sweeps it's from) I'd greatly appreciate it! Oh, and it requires a signature...

Thanks! Sharon

--UPDATE-- Sigh... it's a win we already knew about ha Don't get me wrong, I'm still excited, as it's the certificate for our 100,000 Delta miles win that we won, so it's still worth $2,750... but we were kind of hoping for it to be a new win... I guess the car win will have to come some other way :) thanks for helping me ponder it. And I don't get the "momentum" part of the sending part.. as it clearly says "giveaway a day" as the sender... hmmmm.. oh well, thanks for helping me go crazy about it all weekend haha sharon

mo·men·tum (mō-měn'təm)
n. pl. mo·men·ta (-tə) or mo·men·tums

1. Symbol (p) Physics: A measure of the motion of a body equal to the product of its mass and velocity. (P = M x V) Also called linear momentum.

2. a.Impetus of a physical object in motion.
b.Impetus of a nonphysical process, such as an idea or a course of events: 'The soaring rise in interest rates finally appeared to be losing momentum.'

3. Philosophy: An essential or constituent element; a moment.


[Latin mōmentum, movement, from *movimentum, from movēre, to move; see meuə- in Indo-European roots.]

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition



Product of the mass of a particle and its velocity. Newton's second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force acting on the particle. Albert Einstein showed that the mass of a particle increases as its velocity approaches the speed of light. At the speeds treated in classical mechanics, the effect of speed on the mass can be neglected, and changes in momentum are the result of changes in velocity alone. If a constant force acts on a particle for a given time, the product of the force and the time interval, the impulse, is equal to the change in momentum. For any array of several objects, the total momentum is the sum of the individual momenta. Seealso angular momentum.

:sunny: Don't have a clue, but hope it's something nice. Congratulations!
 
Re: Win but don't know what it is?

thanks everyone! I'm driving myself crazy with wondering haha I even found a Momentum business online that delivers CARS... so now of course I'm convinced I've won a car! haha hey, stranger things have happened... then again, it could be a pot holder or something hahahahaha

There is a Momentum that makes bowling balls...did you win a bowling ball? :sunny:
