Calculating Momentum (p=mv) - GCSE Physics (9-1) | kayscience.com

If an object is stationary it has no velocity (or momentum), but if the object moves it now has velocity (or momentum). All objects have matter so have mass.
So all moving objects that have mass and velocity will have momentum.
Momentum is a vector quantity because it has size (magnitude) and direction.

The formula for momentum is: momentum = mass x velocity
Rearrange the formula for mass: mass = momentum ÷ velocity
Rearrange the formula for velocity: velocity = momentum ÷ mass

The unit for mass is: kg
The unit for velocity is: m/s
The unit for momentum is: kg m/s

How is the small ball faster than the bigger one while newtons second law of motion states that the greater the mass the greater the gravitational force acting on it ?

[giodelao]

And how do you solve for velocity with given momentum and mass?

great video and learning process, although as an american it is difficult to understand with the accent!

This was cool, thanks for the infromation!
