Real life momentum *URGENT*
I need a few major examples for how momentum is used in real life.
Any good examples?

Momentum is a measure of an object's motion, determined by the product of its mass and velocity. In real life, momentum can be observed in various forms, such as a moving car, a rolling ball, or a swinging pendulum.
Momentum is closely related to Newton's laws of motion, specifically the law of inertia and the law of action and reaction. According to the law of inertia, an object in motion will continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. The law of action and reaction states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that the momentum of an object will change if it experiences a force.
Yes, momentum is conserved in all physical interactions, meaning that the total momentum before and after an interaction will remain the same. This can be observed in everyday situations, such as a billiard ball colliding with another ball, or a skateboarder performing a trick.
Examples of momentum in everyday life include a baseball being hit by a bat, a car coming to a stop, a person jumping, or a rocket launching into space. Any time an object is in motion, it has momentum.
Momentum has many practical applications in various fields, such as engineering, physics, and sports. For example, in engineering, momentum is used to design efficient and safe transportation systems, while in sports, athletes use momentum to their advantage in activities like running, jumping, and throwing.
