In physics, the symbol for the quantity momentum is the lower case p. Thus, the above equation can be rewritten as. p = m • v. where m is the mass and v is the velocity. The equation illustrates that momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and directly proportional to the object's velocity.

14 wrz 2024 · Momentum (p) is the product of an object’s mass (m) and its velocity (v). Its formula is: p = m × v. Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of the object’s velocity.
Learn what momentum is, how to calculate it, and how it relates to force and impulse. See how momentum affects the motion of objects and collisions, and how to use the symbol and units for momentum.
Learn about the momentum of a particle and a system, and how it is related to mass and velocity. Find the formula for momentum, the symbol p, and the SI unit kg m/s. Explore the principle of conservation of momentum and examples.
Linear momentum (momentum for brevity) is defined as the product of a system’s mass multiplied by its velocity. In symbols, linear momentum \(p\) is defined to be \[p = mv \nonumber\] where \(m\) is the mass of the system and \(v\) is its velocity. The SI unit for momentum is \(kg \cdot m/s.\)
