Does your weight have “momentum”?

1 min read

Asked by: Stacey Carey

There is no relationship between momentum and weight only momentum, velocity and mass.

How is momentum found in the body?

p =mv where m = mass of the body and v = velocity of the body.

  1. A body of mass 5 kg undergoes a change in speed from 20 to 0.20 m/s. …
  2. The momentum of body is numerically equal to its kinetic energy, The velocity of the body is : …
  3. A body of mass ‘m’ falls from a height ‘h’ and rebounds.

How do you explain momentum to a child?


Momentum is inertia in motion a lot of momentum means a lot of oomph. An even better way to describe momentum is as the product of mass times velocity.
