Momentum

Definition
It is defined as “The quantity of motion in a body is called Momentum.”
OR
The cross product of mass and velocity is called Momentum.

Mathematical Representation

P=m ×v
Unit of Momentum

Kgm/s
Explanation
According to this equation, momentum is equal to mass times velocity.
Considering that velocity is defined as speed with direction, an item with a
high speed also has a high velocity.
By changing the words for symbols, our momentum equation can be made
much simpler.
P =MV
Where
P is momentum,
M is mass in kilograms and
V is velocity in meter per second.
As you can see, if you raise either the mass or the velocity on the right side
of the equation, the momentum on the left side must also grow in order to
maintain equality between the two sides. If you increase both, the mass
and the velocity, the momentum increases.

Is Momentum a vector quantity?

Momentum is a vector quantity, which implies that it has both magnitude
and direction. Because velocity has both of these components, it is also a
vector quantity.
The Momentum's direction
The momentum of an object can be described by pointing out its direction,
even though the direction of the momentum and the velocity vector are the
same. Without this, the momentum is not a vector and cannot be used to
describe an object.
Practical Life Examples of Momentum
(1) Truck and bicycle momentum
If you were at the bottom of a hill and had to pick between stopping a
runaway truck or a runaway bicycle, you would probably choose to stop the
bike. The truck has a huge momentum because it is very bigand has very
large mass, but it also has a large speed that effects momentum as well.
The bicycle also has momentum since it has a large speed, but because its
mass is smaller than that of the truck its momentum is also less.
We can see that both the bicycle and the truck can have a large
momentum but the truck is still more momentum because it is far more
massive than the bicycle this also means that an object at rest does not
have momentum the velocity of an object at rest is zero so there's no
movement in order for an object to have momentum it must be moving.
(2) Ball’s Momentum
A 5 kg ball rolling at 10 m/sec to the right has a momentum of 50 kg
m/sec to the right if that same ball increases its speed to 20 m/sec we
simply double the momentum since the velocity component is doubled the
new momentum for this ball is 100 kgm/sec because the momentum
increases are decreases by the same amount as either the mass or
velocity we say that they are proportional all this means is that as one
variable changes the variable on the other side of the equation changes by
the same amount knowing that they are proportional.

Is it possible for two distinct objects to have the same

momentum?

Yes the momentum of two different objects can be equal under the right
conditions.
Now consider a few examples of momentum. As you are aware, any object,
regardless of size, can have a significant amount of momentum because
momentum is dependent on both the speed and the mass of the object. If
the mass of the object is high, the momentum is also high. However, this is
not always the case.
Let's discuss how two vehicles have the same momentum. Assume that
our bicycle, which is zooming down the slope at twice the speed of the
truck, has half the mass. Each vehicle in this situation has an identical
momentum. This may seem improbable, but let's look at the equations for
the truck and the bicycle to see how they can both have the same
momentum under the right circumstances. The truck's momentum is given
by P equals 2mv, and the bicycle's momentum is given by P equals m2v.
Understanding that as long as you know an object's mass and velocity, you
can determine its momentum.
