In introductory mechanics, the momentum of a particle is its mass times its velocity. In electrodynamics, the momentum of a field is proportional to the cross-product of the electric field with the magnetic field. In special relativity, momentum is generalized to four-momentum.

Relation between the conservation of Energy and the conservation of Momentum?

I also wondered about this - the limitations imposed on solutions of elastic collisions by the dual laws of conservation of both momentum and kinetic energy - and whether there is there a combination of … The plots show the results, post collision, for the velocities of mass 1 ( x axis) and mass 2 (y axis), under conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy. …
