Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity. It is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.
How is momentum calculated?
Momentum is calculated as p = m × v, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.
What is the unit of momentum?
The unit of momentum is kilogram meter per second (kg·m/s).
What does the conservation of momentum principle state?
The conservation of momentum principle states that, in a closed system, the total momentum before an interaction equals the total momentum after the interaction.
What is an elastic collision?
An elastic collision is one in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
