Hello aspirant,
Hope you are doing well,
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 is: In SI units, momentum is measured in kilogram meters per second (kg⋅m/s).
There are two kinds of momentum, linear and angular. A spinning object has angular momentum; an object traveling with a velocity has linear momentum.
Hope this information helps,
Best of luck
Hello student,
Momentum , of an object is defined as the product of the mass of that object and its velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity. It is denoted by p.
P = m*v
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.
Means dp/dt = F = ma
Hope it helps.
