What is momentrum in easy words i need handwritten explanation of that ??????i need formula also i need a clear defination of momentum?????
Dear student,
The momentum of an object is defined as the product of its mass and velocity.
momentum = mass x velocity
or p = mx v
where p = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity
for example, greater force is needed for stopping or pushing a heavier body than a lighter body for a given speed.
Momentum of a tennis ball is greater than a ping pong ball moving at the same speed because of their mass difference.
Momentum of a bullet thrown at moderate speed is less than a bullet fired from a gun which can pierce through layers of an object.
Hope it is cleared.
Regards
