P = m*v (momentum formula)

Definition

The momentum formula states that momentum (p) of an object is equal to its mass (m) multiplied by its velocity (v).

Impulse:

Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object when acted upon by an external force.

Conservation of Momentum: Conservation of momentum states that in a closed system where no external forces act, the total momentum before an event or collision is equal to the total momentum after.

Linear Momentum:

Linear momentum refers specifically to momentum in one-dimensional motion along a straight line.
