SUMMARY
Momentum is universally represented by the letter "p" in physics. The Greek letter rho (ρ) is not used to denote momentum in standard terminology. This clarification resolves the debate regarding the correct symbol for momentum, confirming that "p" is the established notation.
PREREQUISITES
- Basic understanding of physics concepts
- Familiarity with symbols used in physics
- Knowledge of momentum and its definition
