Understanding Linear Momentum

Linear momentum is a measurement involving mass in motion, capturing both the amount of mass of an object and its velocity. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

Formula

The formula for linear momentum (p) is:

p = m × v

Where:

  • p = Linear Momentum
  • m = Mass of the object
  • v = Velocity of the object

Practical Applications

Linear momentum is fundamental in physics and has numerous applications:

  • Understanding collisions between objects
  • Designing safety features in vehicles
  • Analyzing sports performance
  • Studying astronomical phenomena
