Re: Momentum vs energy |

Momentum is one directional (linear motion) [which] can be transferred from
one body to another directly without significant losses:
A typical example would be a sledgehammer.
Energy is multi-directional (expansion) and in order to transfer energy
from one body to another without significant losses it must be
mechanically confined and directed.
A typical example would be a cannon.
