It can be defined as "mass in motion." All objects have mass; so if an object is moving, then it is called as momentum.
the momentum of an object is the product of mass of the object and the velocity of the object.
Momentum = mass • velocity
The above equation can be rewritten as
p = m • v
where m is the mass and v is the velocity.
Momentum is a vector quantity and the direction of the of the vector is the same as the direction that an object.
