Law of Conservation of Momentum
Momentum is a key idea in physics. It’s super important for understanding how things move. It’s a vector quantity, meaning it has direction and magnitude. So, we define it as the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity. Mathematically, momentum (p) can be shown like this: p=mv In this formula, (m) stands for mass and (v) for velocity. This simple equation shows us how the mass of an object affects its momentum by showing how fast it’s going.  Historical Background:  The idea of momentum goes way back to the beginnings of classical mechanics, thanks to some great scientists like Sir Is ...
