About this document
Understanding Momentum in Physics by hafizaqai is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity and is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction. The formula for momentum is p=mv. The principle of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a system is constant if no external forces act on it, meaning the sum of the momentum before an interaction equals the sum after. It can be used to calculate unknown velocities given masses and other velocities before and after collisions.
