Mv Discovery

P = mv is known as Newton bt discovery was discovered long before by someone, that Newton used for his second act, it is well known as a principle Newtonic.
here P = momentum
m = mass
v = velocity

ISSAC Newtonian!


Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727)

Mechanical

Momentum and angular momentum
Momentum: The combination of both mass and velocity. Example: ". A 1 ton truck moving 60 km / h because the North" Mathematically:
p = mv
Momentum is a vector, and has always maintained (can be neither created nor destroyed but only transferred).

it does not matter because the main thing about the law was wriiten in the Newton's second law ...

Leibniz noticed that in many mechanical systems has been kept as long as the masses do not interact. He called this quantity the vis viva or living force of the system. The principle represents an accurate statement of the approximate conservation of kinetic energy in situations where there is no friction. However, many physicists have been influenced by the prestige of Sir Isaac Newton in England and Rened Descartes in France, which had both attach great importance to the conservation of momentum (which still holds in systems with friction) as a guiding principle. Thus, the momentum has been organized by the rival camp to the momentum maintained. It was largely engineers such as John Smeaton, Peter Ewart, Karl Hotzmann, Gustavus Adolphus Hirn and Marc Seguin who objected that the conservation of momentum alone is not enough for practical calculation and who made use of the principle of Leibniz .
