1. Executive Summary Momentum is a fundamental concept describing the quantity of motion an object possesses. While rooted in classical physics (specifically Newton’s Second Law), the term has transcended science to become a powerful metaphor in economics, sports, and personal productivity. This report explores the dual nature of momentum: as a precise mathematical vector in mechanics and as a strategic intangible asset in human systems. 2. Momentum in Physics 2.1 Definition and Formula In physics, linear momentum (( p )) is defined as the product of an object’s mass (( m )) and its velocity (( v )). It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
