Answer:

Momentum is simply the product of mass and velocity. It is represented mathematically as

Momentum = Mass x Velocity.

The S. I unit of momentum is kilograms meter per second i.e Kg.m/s.

Momentum is a vector quantity i.e it has both magnitude and direction.

Momentum of an object is greatly affected my the mass and velocity of the object as we can clear from the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum Is defined as the product of of mass and its velocity

Momentum (M) =mass *velocity

SI unit of momentum is kgm/s

The rate of change in momentum

=change in momentum / time

=(mv-mu)/t
