Answer 2

Momentum is defined as the product of two quantities i.e., mass and velocity. Where mass being a scalar and velocity being a vector quantity. The quantity momentum is a vector quantity directed along the direction of velocity.

• Momentum = (mass)*(velocity)

Vector form:

• Momentum = (m)(v)*(ñ)
• Where 'ñ' is a unit vector along the direction of velocity given by v/|v|.

SI unit of momentum is Kg.m/s²
