  • Understanding Momentum: Mass and Velocity Explained
    The two factors that determine an object's momentum are:

    1. Mass (m): This is the amount of matter an object contains. The more massive an object is, the more momentum it has.

    2. Velocity (v): This is the object's speed and direction. The faster an object moves, the more momentum it has.

    Momentum (p) is calculated as:

    * p = m * v
