The momentum of a moving body is defined as the product of its mass and velocity. Notice that since 'velocity' has a direction as well as a magnitude (is a vector quantity), momentum also has direction as well as magnitude. That's why two billiard balls, moving toward each other each with the same exact speed, can completely stop dead after the collision ... since their velocities are in opposite directions, their momentums are also exactly opposite, and add up to zero.

Physics definition to move a load?
Do you mean Newton's Second Law of Force? It is differential change in momentum per unit time, due to an external force
What does RHO mean in Physics?
Rho is used in the eqation for Momentum ( it represents momentum, and is written as a p) which is as follows: p (momentum)= M (mass) X V (velocity)
What is the physics definition of period?
The physics definition of period is the duration of one complete cycle of a wave or oscillation.
What is momentum in physics?
In physics, momentum = mass x velocityhigher the mass or higher the velocity, higher is the momentum. Note, momentum is a vector quantity i.e it has both magnitude and direction. For instance, when two bodies A of velocity 3m/s and B of velocity 6m/s both of equal masses collide, A moves in the direction of B. Mathematically, the momentum of A is given a negative sign(-) meaning that the momentum of A is in the direction of B
What is the unit of impulse in physics?
Same as the unit of momentum - an impulse is a transfer of momentum. Velocity x mass. Or the equivalent force x time.

What is meant by four momentum transfer?
Simply put, four-momentum transfer is the special relativistic spacetime analog of classical (three-) momentum transfer. In classical physics, two bodies can interact and exchange momentum in three spacial dimensions. In particle physics, strictly spatial momentum vectors do not suffice. Instead we use four-momentum, a Lorentz vector. Four-momentum transfer is often referred to as Q^2 is particle physics literature. An interaction that transfer a large amount of four-momentum is a high Q^2 interaction.
How does doing a standing back tuck relate to physics?
the momentum needed to get all the way around is related to physics.
What was Isaac Newtons are of expertise in science?
Physics, especially momentum and action & reaction.
What does physics have to do with bowling?
Friction, (ball against floor), momentum, etc.
What does physics have to do with track?
The force that your legs exert to create forward momentum.
What does RHO mean in Physics?
Rho is used in the eqation for Momentum ( it represents momentum, and is written as a p) which is as follows: p (momentum)= M (mass) X V (velocity)

What is the definition of physics and how physics related to economic?
Physics is the science of motion and does not have anything to do with economics.
Is there any relation between moments in physics and statistics?
i think you don's understand difference between MOMENT & MOMENTUM MOMENT is use in statics means FORCE INTO PERPENDICULAR DISTANCE. MOMENTUM is use in physics means MASS INTO VELOCITY.actually both are part of physics so we ca't ask like this MOMENT IN PHYSICS AND STATICS??
