Momentum is a vector quantity defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity. It represents the 'quantity of motion'.

Impulse is the change in momentum, often equal to the force applied multiplied by the time duration.

Is momentum conserved?

Yes, in an isolated system, the total momentum remains constant (Law of Conservation of Momentum).
