How is momentum calculated mathemtically?

Answer 1

Momentum is a useful quantity to consider when bodies are involved in collisions and explosions. It is defined as the Mass of the body multiplied by it's velocity and is measured in kilogram metre per second (Kg m/s) or Newton second (N s).

Momentum (in Kg m/s) = Velocity (in m/s) × Mass (in Kg).

Mass can be found using electronic or a top pan balance .

and velocity can be found using the equation Velocity = Displacement (Distance , in m) / Time (in s ).......hope that might help :)

Answer 2

Mathematically, momentum (p) is calculated by multiplying an object's mass (m) by its velocity (v). The formula for momentum is p = m * v. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
