Product of the mass of a particle and its velocity. Newton's second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force acting on the particle. Albert Einstein showed that the mass of a particle increases as its velocity approaches the speed of light. At the speeds treated in classical mechanics, the effect of speed on the mass can be neglected, and changes in momentum are the results of changes in velocity alone. If a constant force acts on a particle for a given time, the product of force and the time interval, the impulse, is equal to the change in momentum. For a rigid body, the momentum is the sum of the momenta of each particle in the body. See also angular momentum; a measure of the motion of an object, equal to the product of its mass and its velocity; Momentum is usually measured based on the field in the AGS main magnets In this case p = 0 299792458*B*rho, where rho is the magnetic bending radius of the AGS At high energy this is sufficient since the frequency is no longer changing very rapidly with beam energy and the frequency of the RF acts mostly as a good measure of the beam radius Measuring RF frequency is not as good a method for measuring momentum at high energy since beta is no longer changing very much (i e , the accuracy of the measurement must be very good at high energy) For low energy measuring the frequency of the AGS RF at the time the RF turns off is a better way to measure beam momentum, but the radius of the beam must be known; Inertia where the object is in motion If the object's speed is much lower than the speed of light, momentum is mass times velocity; {i} force of movement; product of the mass of a body of matter multiplied by its velocity (Physics, Mechanics); strength or motivation derived from an initial effort; an impelling force or strength; "the car's momentum carried it off the road

angular momentum: Property that describes the rotary inertia of a system in motion about an axis. It is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of the angular momentum of an object is the product of its linear momentum (mass m velocity v) and the perpendicular distance r from the centre of rotation, or mvr. The direction is that of the axis of rotation. The angular momentum of an isolated system is constant. This means that a rigid spinning object continues to spin at a constant rate unless acted upon by an external torque. A spinning gyroscope in an airplane remains fixed in its orientation, independent of the airplane's motion, because of the conservation of direction as well as magnitude
