- the force or speed of an object in motion, or the increase in the rate of development of a process: A falling object gains momentum as it falls. Technology seems to create its own momentum – if something can be done, it will be.

May 30, 2017 · The theory of spontaneous generation, first comprehensively posited by Aristotle in his book ”On the Generation of Animals” around 350 B.C., aims to explain the seemingly sudden emergence of organisms such as rats, flies and maggots within rotting meat and other decomposable items.
Learn about and revise momentum, conservation of momentum and the relationship between force and momentum in collisions with GCSE Bitesize Combined Science.
Generally, momentum implies a tendency to continue on course—to move in the same direction—and is associated with great mass and speed. Momentum, like energy, is important because it is conserved.

The scientific definition of linear momentum is consistent with most people’s intuitive understanding of momentum: a large, fast-moving object has greater momentum than a smaller, slower object. Linear momentum is defined as the product of a system’s mass multiplied by its velocity.

Oct 4, 2019 · In biological systems, diffusion occurs at every moment, across membranes in every cell as well as through the body. For example, oxygen is at a higher concentration inside arteries and arterioles, when compared with the oxygen levels in actively respiring cells.

Aug 2, 2024 · Momentum, product of the mass of a particle and its velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity; i.e., it has both magnitude and direction. Isaac Newton’s second law of motion states that the time rate of change of momentum is equal to the force acting on the particle.
