Question

What is momentum in simple language?

Answer 1

1. When mass and velocity are multiplied the result is momentum.
2. The equation of momentum can be represented as :$p=mv$ where $p$ is the momentum, $m$ is the mass, $v$ is the velocity.
3. The term "momentum" refers to a vector quantity that has both a direction and a magnitude.
4. The unit of momentum is $\mathrm{newton}-\mathrm{second}$.
5. Momentum describes the relationship between speed, mass, and direction.
6. When the body is in a condition of rest, momentum does not exist.
7. Regardless of the frame of reference, momentum is a conserved quantity in any inertial frame, which means that if an enclosed system is not subject to outside influences, its total linear momentum remains constant.
