Momentum is a property of a moving body and is defined as the product of the mass and velocity of the body.
Mathematically, momentum (\( \mathbf{p} \)) is expressed as:
\[
\mathbf{p} = m \times \mathbf{v}
\]
where:
- \( m \) is the mass of the body
- \( \mathbf{v} \) is the velocity of the body
Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, and it plays a crucial role in the laws of motion and conservation principles in physics.
