   momentum

   /mə(ʊ)ˈmɛntəm/

   noun

   • 1. the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.
   • 2. the impetus gained by a moving object: "the vehicle gained momentum as the road dipped"
   • ▪ the impetus and driving force gained by the development of a process or course of events: "the investigation gathered momentum in the spring"

   Word Origin early 17th century (denoting a turning motion): from Latin, from movimentum, from movere ‘to move’.

   Jun 18, 2024 · In a closed system, the total momentum of all objects within the system is conserved. This means that the total momentum of the system before and after an interaction remains the same. In an open system, the total momentum of all objects within the system is not necessarily conserved.

   What is the difference between momentum and force?

   • The SI unit is kg · m/s. Momentum measures the content of motion of an object. Momentum doubles, when velocity or mass doubles. On the other hand force is the push or pull that is applied to an object to change its momentum. According to Newton's second law of motion force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration.

   What are the units for momentum?

   • The units for momentum are typically expressed in kilogram meters per second (kg·m/s) in the International System of Units (SI) and gram centimeters per second (g·cm/s) in the Centimeter-Gram-Second (CGS) system. These units reflect the product of an object’s mass and its velocity.

   What is linear momentum in physics?

   • Linear momentum is defined as the product of the mass and the velocity of an object. linear momentum is represented by p = mv.Momentum is directly proportional to the object’s mass and also its velocity. Thus greater the mass velocity, greater the momentum. Momentum p is a vector that has the same direction as the velocity v.
