  2. Momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

    Momentum depends on the frame of reference, but in any inertial frame of reference, it is a conserved quantity, meaning that if a closed system is not affected by external forces, its total momentum does not change.

  3. Moment (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_(physics)

    The moment of force, or torque, is a first moment: =, or, more generally, .; Similarly, angular momentum is the 1st moment of momentum: =.Momentum itself is not a moment.; The electric dipole moment is also a 1st moment: = for two opposite point charges or () for a distributed charge with charge density ().

  4. Force - Wikipedia

    By the definition of momentum, = = (), where m is the mass and is the velocity. [ 4 ] : 9-1,9-2 If Newton's second law is applied to a system of constant mass , m may be moved outside the derivative operator.

  5. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

  9. Theory of impetus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_impetus

    At most, it comes close to the modern term “linear momentum” of a mass. This is because it is linear momentum as the product of mass and velocity that maintains motion due to the inertia of the mass (conservation of linear momentum). But momentum is not a force; rather, a force is the cause of a change in the momentum of a body, and vice versa.
