Momentum

/moʊˈmɛn.təm/noun
ELI5 mode

Momentum is the measure of an object's motion, calculated as the product of its mass and velocity, making it a key concept in physics for understanding how things keep moving or resist changes in motion. In everyday language, it describes the driving force that builds and sustains progress, like a snowball rolling downhill and gathering speed. This dual role highlights its importance in both scientific calculations and metaphorical applications, from engineering designs to business strategies.
