Here's a breakdown:
* Momentum: A measure of how much motion an object has. It's a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (how much) and direction.
* Mass: A measure of how much matter an object contains.
* Velocity: A measure of how fast an object is moving in a specific direction.
The formula for momentum is:
Momentum (p) = Mass (m) x Velocity (v)
So, the more massive an object is or the faster it's moving, the greater its momentum.
