Definition of Momentum
“A product of mass and velocity of a moving body is called Momentum.“
formula of Momentum
Momentum = mass × velocity
Mathematically,
P = m x v
Where ,
P = Momentum
m = mass
v = velocity
Momentum is a Vector quantity because it has magnitude as well as Direction.
S I unit of Momentum = kg m /s = kg m s-1
C G S unit of Momentum = g cm /s = g cm s-1
