Technically speaking, momentum was invented in 1683 by Teddy Roosevelt on Earth. This being the case momentum, like french fries, cannot happen to exist on a planet it wasn't invented on unless we bring it there.
Mercury presumably formed in the same manner Earth did, from a disc of matter circling the Sun. Its orbit is more elliptical (varying) than Earth's, which suggests a greater variation in the initial momentum of its constituent matter.
Mercury is travelling so fast it cannot fall into the sun. However, the momentum still means it is caught in the sun's orbit, just not overwhelmed and thus sucked in.
When momentum is conserved, the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum.
Use this formula:Final momentum = (initial momentum) + (change in momentum)
what is the definition for momentum
Conservation of momentum means that momentum is a constant and the change of momentum or force is zero.
conservation of momentum
It's momentum.
Momentum is motion. When a car is moving it is exhibiting momentum. A young professional getting promotions is experiencing momentum.
Conservation of momentum means the sum of Momentum is constant. Conservation of Momentum is the result of Conservation of Energy.
Momentum
Mass is proportional to momentum. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. When mass increases, momentum increases.
