What you'll likely be quizzed about
- Momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity.
- Mathematically, it is expressed as p = mv, where p denotes momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.
- Thus, if an object's mass increases or its velocity increases, its momentum will also increase.
