- The formula to calculate momentum is mass × velocity.
- Momentum is a measure of the quantity of motion of a moving body, calculated as the product of its mass and velocity.
- It is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction.
- Momentum is conserved in a closed system where no external forces are acting.
Additional Information
- Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force applied, and this change takes place in the direction of the applied force.
- The unit of momentum in the International System of Units (SI) is kilogram meter per second (kg·m/s).
- In classical mechanics, the momentum of a system of particles is the sum of the momenta of the individual particles.
- In relativistic mechanics, the momentum is calculated using the Lorentz factor, which takes into account the effects of special relativity.
