  • Understanding Momentum: How Velocity Affects Momentum
    If the mass stays the same but the velocity is increased, the momentum also increases.

    Here's why:

    * Momentum is a measure of an object's mass in motion. It's calculated by the formula:

    Momentum (p) = mass (m) x velocity (v)

    * If the mass remains constant and the velocity increases, the product of mass and velocity (which is momentum) will also increase.

    In simpler terms: The faster an object moves, the more momentum it has, even if its weight stays the same.
