Momentum measures the quantity of motion possessed by a body. It is defined as the product of the mass of a body and its velocity. For a linear motion it is called the linear momentum of the body. It is the vector quantity which means that the body's momentum is always in the same direction as its velocity vector. It is a conserved quantity which means that the total momentum of the system is constant. If “m” is the mass and “v” be the velocity of a body at some instant, the linear momentum is given by the expression -
Here, p = momentum, v = velocity and m = mass
As momentum and velocity are the vector quantities therefore, they are denoted as and respectively.
The SI unit of momentum is kg m/s
Examples:
1. A bullet fired at a wooden board can destroy it. But a small stone of the same mass as the bullet when thrown at the board will hardly cause any damage.Although their masses are the same, the high velocity of the bullet gives it a larger momentum, which causes the damage.
2.Consider, a truck and a rickshaw moving with the same velocities, heading towards each other and eventually ending up in a head on collision. The rickshaw could might get deformed to such an extend that it would be difficult for us to make it, while truck might get some minor damages.This is because of the larger momentum of the truck.
Illustration: A ball with a 500g mass is thrown with a velocity of 72 km/h. What is the initial momentum?
Solution: Given
mass of the ball = 500g = 0.5 Kg and
velocity of the ball = 72 km/h = 20 m/s
Momentum of the ball
Illustration: The linear momentum of a body is 40 kg m/s and the mass of the object is 5 kg. Determine the velocity of the object.
Solution: Given parameters are,
m = 5 kg and
p = 40 kg m/s
Linear momentum formula is given by

One thing would live to bring in notice that last year study books was distributed after half of the session was over,though study ...
Abhyas institute is one of the best coaching institute in the vicinity of Ambala cantt.The institute provides good and quality education to the students.The teachers are well experienced and are very helpful in solving the problems. The major advantages of the institute is extra classes for weak...
My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
The experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.
A marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Abhyas is an institute of high repute. Yogansh has taken admission last year. It creates abilities in child to prepare for competitive exams. Students are motivated by living prizes on basis of performance in Abhyas exams. He is satisfied with institute.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
In terms of methodology I want to say that institute provides expert guidence and results oriented monitering supplements by requsite study material along with regular tests which help the students to improve their education skills.The techniques of providing education helps the students to asses...
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
When I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.
Abhyas is good institution and a innovative institute also. It is a good platform of beginners.Due to Abhyas,he has got knoweledge about reasoning and confidence.My son has improved his vocabulary because of Abhyas.Teacher have very friendly atmosphere also.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
