Momentum can be said to be the quantity of motion that a moving body possess.
Momentum is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction.
Momentum is the product of the mass of the object and the velocity.
It is expressed as:
p = mv
Where:
p is the momentum
m is the mass object.
v is the velocity of the object
Momentum is changed due to the force that acts on the moving body for a given amount of time, this causes a change in velocity which in turn causes the momentum to change.
Therefore, if the there is a change in the velocity of an object, it will cause the momentum to change.
ANSWER:
• Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of a moving body.
• A change in the velocity due to the force that acts on the object will change the object's momentum.
