Here's the breakdown:
* Velocity: Describes how fast an object is moving and in what direction. It's measured in units like meters per second (m/s).
* Momentum: A measure of an object's mass in motion. It's calculated by multiplying an object's mass (m) by its velocity (v): Momentum (p) = m * v.
In summary:
* Velocity is a measure of how fast an object is moving.
* Momentum is a measure of how much motion an object has, taking into account both its mass and velocity.
While a falling object's velocity increases as it falls (until it reaches terminal velocity), the term "momentum" describes a different concept related to the object's motion.
