Momentum is a vector quantity that describes the quantity of motion of an object and is calculated as the product of its mass and velocity. Momentum is conserved in a closed system, meaning that the total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision, provided no external forces act on the system. This principle is known as the law of conservation of momentum and is a fundamental concept in physics, explaining the behavior of objects in collisions and interactions.
