Here's why:
* Momentum is a measure of how much motion an object has. It's a fundamental concept in physics.
* Mass is the amount of matter in an object. A more massive object has more inertia (resistance to change in motion).
* Velocity is the object's speed and direction.
The formula for momentum is:
Momentum (p) = Mass (m) x Velocity (v)
This means:
* A heavier object (more mass) moving at the same speed as a lighter object will have more momentum.
* An object moving faster will have more momentum than the same object moving slower.
