Question

write the formula of momentum and explain each term in it ​

Answer 1

LINEAR MOMENTUM

Linear momentum is defined as the product of a system’s mass multiplied by its velocity:

p = mv

where m is the mass of the system and v is its velocity. The SI unit for momentum is kg·m/s

Answer 2

☞Momentum:

•It refers to the quantity of motion that an object has.

•The quantity of motion of a moving body.

☞Types of momentum:

There are two types of momentum.

(i) Angular motion

(i) Linear motion

Angular motion :

Momentum produced during a rotational motion. Spinning objects have angular motion.

Linear motion :

Momentum produced during a straight motion

Objects travelling with velocity has a linear motion.

☞Formula :

Linear momentum p is defined to be

p = mv.

where

m = mass

v = velocity

$\Large\cal\blue{\mid{\boxed{\orange{p=mv}}}\mid}$

The SI unit of momentum is kg.m/s.

☞More to know

☞Mass :

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

☞Velocity:

Velocity is the rate of motion.
