MOMENTUM is a quality that every MOVING object possesses.
It depends on the MASS of the object and its VELOCITY.
You calculate MOMENTUM by using the equation:
Where:
- p is the momentum, which is measured in Kilogram metres per second (kg m/s).
- m is the mass of the object in Kilograms (kg).
- v is the velocity of the object in Metres per second (m/s).
