momenta

Meanings

• the momentum of a physical object

  - "The ice hockey puck gains momentum as it glides across the ice."
  - "The centrifugal force of a spinning amusement park ride gives the riders a feeling of weightlessness, or momentary loss of gravity. In physics, this loss of gravity is defined as momentum."

1. Inertia: Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. Inertia is a fundamental concept in physics, and it is closely related to the concept of momentum. In fact, the relationship between inertia and momentum can be expressed mathematically as F = ma, where F is the force applied to an object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object. This equation shows that an object's inertia (mass) and momentum (mass times velocity) are related through the force required to change their motion.

["In Greek mythology, the goddess of momentum, or kinesis, was called Kinesis or Iris. Iris was depicted as a young woman with wings, who carried a pair of golden eyes that represented the all-seeing power of the gods. In Greek mythology, Iris was said to be the messenger of the gods, who would travel between the heavens and the earth to deliver messages and instructions from the gods to mortals.", "Momentum is a term used in physics to describe the motion of an object. Momentum is a vector quantity, which means that it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of an object's momentum is given by the product of its mass and its velocity: p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity. The direction of an object's momentum is given by the direction of its velocity. For example, if a ball is moving to the right with a velocity of 10 m/s, then the ball's momentum is 10 kg m/s to the right."]
