  • Understanding Momentum: Mass, Velocity, and the Formula
    Momentum of an object depends on two things:

    1. Mass (m): The amount of matter in an object. A heavier object will have more momentum than a lighter object moving at the same speed.

    2. Velocity (v): The speed and direction of an object. A faster object will have more momentum than a slower object of the same mass.

    Formula for Momentum:

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

    Units of Momentum:

    The standard unit for momentum is kilogram meters per second (kg m/s).
