Original comment is correct, it's not momentum. Work (hence, energy) is integral of force over distance, momentum is integral over time. There's not "sorta" about high school physics.


You can't cover distance without time.


W=F.s


but really?


For deriving work/energy, yes. Once you factor in time rate, you're deriving power.
