What is momentum?
Object in motion is said to have momentum.Momentum has a size and direction and is a conserved quantity in physics.
The momentum formula is given as ;
P = mv, where p is the momentum of the moving object, m is the mass and v is the velocity.
From the formula we can say that momentum of a moving object is directly proportional to its mass and velocity.Momentum is classified as linear and angular momentum.
There are laws of conservation of momentum.We will learn about them with examples next time.
I hope you will find this article on momentum helpful.Please do post comments.
