Question

What is the name given to the product of mass and velocity of a body?

Answer 1

1. The momentum of a body of mass ‘m’ traveling with velocity ‘v’ is given by the product of its mass and velocity.
2. Formula:- $$\begin{gathered} momentum=mass\times velocity \\ p=m\times v \end{gathered}$$
3. Momentum is a vector quantity.
4. It is also known as the quantity of motion because it depends upon mass and velocity.
