Definition: Momentum = (mass) x (speed)
OK. Here we go.
Watch closely:
Divide each side
by 'mass' : <span>Momentum / mass = Speed </span>
Did you follow that ?
Hope this helps! If in need of clarification, feel free to ask :)
According to Newton, an object will only accelerate if there is a net or unbalanced forceacting upon it. The presence of an unbalanced force will accelerate an object - changing its speed, its direction, or both its speed and direction.
