Question

What is the formula for calculating momentum?

Answer 1

Momentum is defined as product of mass and velocity.

Explanation:

Momentum is of two types:
(1) Linear Momentum (`p`)
(2)Angular Momentum (`L`)
(1) Linear Momentum is the product of mass of a body '`m`' and its velocity '`v`'.
`p=mv`

(2)The moment of linear momentum is called angular momentum of the particle about the axis of rotation.
`L=mvr`
where '`r`' is the radius .
