What Is Momentum?
Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity. It is a vector quantity that is conserved in collisions and interactions.
How is it calculated?
How Is It Calculated?
p = m × v
- Enter the mass (kg) and the velocity (m/s).
- Multiply the two together.
Unit: kg·m/s.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is conservation of momentum?
If there is no external force, the total momentum of a system stays constant; this principle is used in collisions.
