Momenttimäärä
Momenttimäärä, often translated as momentum or quantity of motion, is a fundamental concept in physics. It is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity. Mathematically, it is represented by the equation p = mv, where 'p' is the momentum, 'm' is the mass, and 'v' is the velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, and its direction is the same as the direction of the object's velocity.
The concept of momentum is crucial for understanding motion and interactions between objects. A key principle
Momentum also plays a role in understanding impulse, which is the change in momentum of an object.
