How is momentum measured in physics?

A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors

Momentum is measured by calculating the product of mass and velocity. In practice, you measure an object's mass (using a scale) and its velocity (using speedometers, radar, or motion sensors), then multiply these values. In laboratory settings, specialized equipment like motion sensors and high-speed cameras can track momentum changes during collisions.
