Momentum:

  1. Momentum is the product of a particle's mass and velocity.
  2. Momentum is a vector quantity, which means it has a magnitude as well as a direction.
  3. According to Isaac Newton's second law of motion, the time rate of change of momentum equals the force acting on the particle.
  4. Momentum is written as P=mv. Here m is mass and v is velocity.
