Momentum
MOMENTUM
QUANTITY OF MOTION
Mass in Motion
Momentum is a vector quantity that represents the product of an object's mass and its velocity. If it's moving, it has momentum.
p is momentum (vector).

THE FORMULA
Momentum (p) is the product of mass (m) and velocity (v). Mathematically: **p = mv**. It is a vector, meaning direction matters.
BASICSCONSERVATION
In a closed system, the total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after. Energy may change forms, but p remains constant.
COLLISION LAWSIMPULSE CONNECTION
Impulse is the change in momentum. By applying a force over a longer period of time, you can change an object's momentum significantly.
