what is the equation for momentum???

[nodnarb]

mass * velocity = momentum

[cider_drinker]

Momentum is also the rate of change of force. This can easily be verified by rearranging the equations:

force = mass * acceleration

acceleration = velocity / seconds

momentum = mass * velocity,

Therefore:

momentum = force * seconds

Edited typo.

Integral

[Michael D. Sewell]

momentum = force x seconds

That's impulse, or change in momentum.

That depends. At an instantaneous point, it is momentum. But Delta Momentum = Force * Delta Time, that is impulse.
