Answers
•what is momentum?
In Newtonian mechanics, linear momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum 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, then the object's momentum is \mathbf{p} = m \mathbf{v}.

•Formula
°p = mv
°p = momentum
°m = mass
°v = velocity

•Formula
°F = m * a
°F = force
°m = mass of an object
°a = acceleration
Answer:
1. In Newtonian mechanics, linear momentum,
translational momentum, or simply
momentum 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 p
isMomentum.
2. Newton's second law, which states that the force F acting on a body is equal to the mass m of the body multiplied by the acceleration a of its centre of mass, F = ma, is the basic equation of motion in classical mechanics.
