p = m · v, in kg·m/s.
Momentum captures how hard it is to stop a moving object — a slow-moving truck and a fast-moving bicycle can carry similar momentum, which is why both can do real damage in a collision despite very different speeds.
In a closed system, total momentum before a collision equals total momentum after — this single principle underlies how physicists analyze everything from billiard-ball collisions to rocket propulsion.
