what is momentum?
with full explanation
Answers
Momentum, product of the mass of a particle and its velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity; i.e., it has both magnitude and direction. Isaac Newton's second law of motion states that the time rate of change of momentum is equal to the force acting on the particle.
Where,
P= momentum
m=mass
v= velocity.
SI unit: kilogram meter per second kg⋅m/s
Other units: slug⋅ft/s
Common symbols: p, p
Dimension: MLT−1
▪️ example ▪️
Momentum can be thought of as the "power" when a body is moving, meaning how much force it can have on another body. For example, a bowling ball (large mass) moving very slowly (low velocity) can have the same momentum as a baseball (small mass) that is thrown fast (high velocity).
