Answer & Explanation:
Definition:
Mass informs us about how much matter is present in a body. It is the measure of the inertia of a body. It can be measured by measuring the force of gravity acting on it on earth.
On the other hand, Momentum is the quantity of motion of the body. It depends depends upon velocity and the direction of the motion of the body.
Unit:
The SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg) while the SI unit of momentum is kg. m. s-1.
Formula:
Mass = Momentum / Velocity
Momentum = Mass * Velocity
or p = mv
Type:
Mass is scalar quantity while Momentum is a vector quantity.
