Detailed explanation-1: -Momentum (P) is equal to mass (M) times velocity (v). But there are other ways to think about momentum! Force (F) is equal to the change in momentum (P) over the change in time (t). And the change in momentum (P) is also equal to the impulse (J).

Detailed explanation-2: -p = m v . p = m v . You can see from the equation that momentum is directly proportional to the object’s mass (m) and velocity (v). Therefore, the greater an object’s mass or the greater its velocity, the greater its momentum. A large, fast-moving object has greater momentum than a smaller, slower object.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is measured by “mass × velocity”, as momentum depends upon velocity, and it depends on the direction of the motion of the body as well. Momentum is a vector quantity since velocity is a vector while mass is scalar.

Detailed explanation-4: -To calculate the total momentum for two objects during a collision, add their individual momentums together. You can calculate momentum for each object by using the formula p=mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

Detailed explanation-5: -If the mass of an object is m and the velocity is v (also a vector quantity), the object’s momentum is p=mv. Hence, we get momentum as the product of mass and velocity.
