What did Newton call momentum?
Question:
What did Newton call momentum?
Momentum:
Momentum (p) refers a specific measurement of an object's motion, and it can be calculated by multiplying an object's mass (m) and velocity (v). Therefore, the equation for momentum is p = mv, where mass is written in kilogram (kg) and velocity is written in meters per second (m/s).
