Momentum is a measure of how much motion an object has — how hard it is to stop. In ordinary (Newtonian) mechanics it equals the object's mass multiplied by its velocity:
p = m v
Here p is momentum (a vector pointing the same way as velocity), m is mass, and v is velocity. SI units are kilogram·meter/second (kg·m/s).
Related points:
- Change in momentum equals impulse: Δp = ∫ F dt (for constant force, Δp = F Δt).
- In relativistic speeds, momentum becomes p = γ m v where γ = 1/√(1 − v²/c²).
