The linear momentum of a particle is defined as the product between the particle’s velocity (a vector) and the particle’s mass (a scalar quantity):
p=m·v.
The l...

This is a common misconception that involves changes in frames of reference. In most contexts moving towards an object refers to the same physical reality as the object moving towards you (at constant spe...

The momentum of an object is given by p = mv, where p = momentum, m = mass of object and v = velocity.The kinetic energy of an object is given by KE = 1/2 * mv² where KE is the kinetic...

Through energy conservation, we can determine that no energy is lost and thereforeKinetic energy = Electrical energyAs a result the following equation is present where both sides represent energy:(m*(v^2)...

Simply put energy is the thing that makes matter move, or has the ability to make matter move.
