Behind best catches is Newton: The Second Law of Motion
Newton’s first law of motion talks about the motion of an object acted upon by balanced forces - there is no acceleration (same state of motion or rest is continued). Newton’s second law talks about the motion of an object acted upon by unbalanced forces ( when there is an individual force that is not being balanced by a force of equal magnitude and in the opposite direction ) - there is acceleration. Linear momentum Linear momentum is defined as mass in motion along a straight line path . Since every object has mass, every object in motion has momentum (has its mass in motion). Mathematically, it is defined as the product of mass and velocity - p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity. Thus the amount of momentum an object has is directly proportional to its mass and velocity (which makes sense from the definition of momentum as the more the mass, the more the mass in motion and the more the velocity, more is the motion of the mass!).
