Answer:

Momentum: It is the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its Mass and Velocity.

Explanation:

Definition of momentum :

Momentum is the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its Mass and Velocity.

Momentum is denoted by p
Formula for momentum is
$p = mass\times velocity$

Its unit is kg-m/s.

For example:

A bowling ball of large mass moving very slowly can have the same momentum as a cricket ball of small mass that is thrown with a very high velocity

In an undeveloped country, the rural areas will often be off the grid, with no access to consistent electricity. For a household

AveGali [126]

In an undeveloped country, the rural areas will often be off the grid, with no access to consistent electricity. For a household living in this situation, <u>wood</u> would most likely be used to heat the home in the winter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

With the help of wood, we can burn it and make fire to heat the house in winter. In the earlier days, wood was used to produce heat and was used for cooking and other purposes.

So when a rural area does not have electricity,stoves would be fired with either biomass fuels, such as wood, branches, twigs or dung, or coal. Also for heating the home, the same would be used. These fuels are collected from the local environment in rural areas and purchased through markets in urban areas. Even now in some countries like India and China use wood or any other biomass fuel for heating and cooking.
