write the formula of momentum and explain each term in it .
Answers
Momentum is mass in motion and only applies to objects in motion. It's a term that describes a relationship between the mass and velocity of an object, and we can see this when it is written in equation form, p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass in kg and v is velocity in m/s.
☞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
p=mv
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.
