  • Momentum: Understanding Mass and Velocity
    Momentum is related to the mass and velocity of an object.

    Here's why:

    * Mass: Mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains. The more massive an object, the more inertia it has, meaning it takes more force to change its motion.

    * Velocity: Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position, meaning how fast it's moving and in what direction.

    The formula for momentum is:

    Momentum (p) = Mass (m) x Velocity (v)

    So, the greater the mass or velocity of an object, the greater its momentum.
