Momentum vs Mass

Linear Momentum

Momentum is a measure of an object's mass in motion.

Formula

p = m * v

Momentum is conserved in isolated systems, making it fundamental to collision analysis.

Example Calculation

A 5 kg ball travels at 12 m/s.

  1. 01p = m * v
  2. 02p = 5 * 12
  3. 03p = 60 kg·m/s
