Momentum is a concept in physics that combines both the mass and velocity of an object. Basically it is the velocity of an object multiplied by its mass.
Even though it relates very simply to the mass and velocity of an object it is still commonly used because it simplifies a great number of equations. Also some descriptions of reality are more convenient when using the mass and momentum rather than mass and velocity. This is especially true in particle physics where the simple relation illustrated above does not quite hold (a new factor is required, called the gamma factor) because the speeds approach those of light, and a momentum based model is more easy to work with.

Is physics a science or pseudo science?
it is a science
Can physics be called science?
A science is a particular branch of science, such as, physics, chemistry or biology. So, yes, physics is 'a' science. But it is not science.
Why physics is a basic science?
Physics is a basic science because it is the science of matter and the science of energy. Without matter there is nothing.
What branches of science make up physical science?
physical science is a branch of science that study non- living things
Branch of natural science?
Biological science: botany, zoology, cytology, genetics, microbiology, and physiology physical science: physics, meteorology, geology, chemistry, astronomy, and seismology
What is backwash in geography?
wash is the return flow of energy back to the sea as the wave loses its mommentum
What's the force applied over time required to give a stationary object mommentum?
That is called impulse; the equation is Ft = mv
What is mommentum?
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity (m x v). It is a vector quantity. Force is the rate of change of momentum F= mΔv/t but Δv/t = acceleration. Therefore, F= ma
What was aryabhatta contribution to science?
he told that science is science and sciance cannot be science if sceince if science is not science and if science did not come from science the science will not be science
How does science pertain to science?
science is science!!
Why science word is used in political science?
Science means knowlege. There are different types of science, natural science, social science, and applied science. Political science is a social science.

What the science related in biological science?
Science is related to science. In-fact biology is science.
What is the Mediterranean Sea sometimes called the Roman Lake?
They called it Mare Nostrum (Our Sea) because they controlled most of the territories surrounding it and the islands in it.Another term used by historians is to call it a "Roman Lake".
How science relate to political science?
Political science is a science.
How science relates to science?
dour science is science obviously
What the four branches of science?
