Think of a snowball rolling down a hill. At first, it’s small and slow, but as it rolls, it picks up more snow and goes faster. This is like momentum. It’s when something keeps moving and gets stronger as it goes. The faster and bigger it is, the more momentum it has!
Now picture a swing at the playground. When you push it, it goes higher and higher. The swing keeps moving because of momentum. Even when you stop pushing, it doesn’t stop right away. It slows down slowly because the momentum is making it keep moving.
Imagine you’re riding a bike. When you pedal really hard, you go fast. But even if you stop pedaling, you keep moving for a while. That’s momentum helping you glide along the path. It’s like having a little magic that keeps you moving without trying too hard.
Momentum is like a superhero power that helps things keep going. It’s the reason why when you roll a toy car, it doesn’t stop immediately. It’s like the car has a little bit of energy that keeps it moving forward!
