Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and is an important quantity in kinetics. Another quantity, impulse, is defined as change in momentum. |
|
In classical physics, the law of conservation is that in the absence of external force, momentum is constant.
Impulse is defined as the change in momentum.
Momentum is defined as the product of the mass of a particle and its velocity. In classical mechanics, it is independent of a particle's position.

This has connections to science, including applications to biology, earth science, astronomy, and chemistry. It is connected to other other areas of physics and can be applied to the structure of matter, quantum mechanics, relativity theory, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and other areas of mechanics. This can be applied to gravitation, nonrigid mechanics, and rigid body mechanics. Within particle mechanics, it can be applied to particle systems and energetics. It has connections to other areas of kinetics and depends on kinematics. |
