One of the most powerful laws in physics is the law of momentum conservation. ... For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

In Newtonian mechanics, linear momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum (pl. momenta) is the product of the mass and velocity of an object.
It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction.
If m is an object's mass and v is its velocity (also a vector quantity), then the object's momentum is: =m.
In SI units, momentum is measured in kilogram meters per second (kg⋅m/s).
