Momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and velocity (p = m X v), measured in kg*m/sec. The law of conservation of momentum states that during collisions, the total momentum of interacting objects remains the same, relating to Newton's third law. The document provides the definition of momentum, its units, and introduces the law of conservation of momentum.

1. Momentum

2. Momentum A quantity defined as the product of the mass and the velocity of an object. Momentum can be calculated using: p = m X v

3. Momentum The units for momentum are kilograms multiplied by meters per second or kg*m/sec The Law of Conservation of Momentum – states that any time objects collide, the total amount of momentum stays the same ~ related to Newton’s 3 rd law
