It is known that the most complete description of the concept of «momentum» as «quantity of motion» (Latin: quantitas motus) was given by Rene Descartes in the first half of the 17th century. Later this definition was refined by Newton (1687), who first introduced the concept of «mass of an object» into science. According to Newton «the quantity of motion is a measure of motion, established in proportion to velocity and mass of an object». At present, it is generally accepted that «momentum» is a vector physical quantity, which is a measure of mechanical motion of an object.
