Momentum
A physical quantity related to an object's mass and velocity, indicating how difficult it is to stop the object. Mass
A measure of the amount of matter in an object, contributing to its inertia and momentum. Velocity
The speed of an object in a specific direction, influencing the direction of momentum. Vector
A quantity with both magnitude and direction, such as momentum, which aligns with velocity. Inertia
A property of mass that quantifies how difficult it is to change an object's speed. Kilogram
The unit of mass in the metric system, used in calculating momentum. Meters per second
The unit of velocity in the metric system, used in calculating momentum. Magnitude
The size or amount of a vector quantity, such as the strength of momentum. Direction
The line or path along which something moves, determining the vector nature of momentum. Sign
Indicates the direction of a vector quantity, crucial in momentum calculations. Equation
A mathematical statement, such as P=MV, used to calculate momentum. Kilogram meters per second
The unit of momentum, derived from mass and velocity. Race car
An example of a moving object used to illustrate momentum concepts. Truck
An example of a moving object with high mass used to illustrate momentum. Magnitude momentum
The absolute value of momentum, indicating the difficulty of stopping an object.
