Definition: Momentum is mv, and everything else that is missing the law of
conservation of momentum.

And also, you might have guessed:

Definition: Energy is 1/2 m v^2, and everything else that is missing the
law of conservation of energy.

With thanks to L.J.F. Broer, who originated this enlightening definition.

No logic no paper involved as here, just physics.

Best wishes,
