In classical mechanics, linear momentum or translational momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. For example, a heavy truck moving rapidly has a large momentum—it takes a large or prolonged force to get the truck up to this speed, and it takes a large or prolonged force to bring...

For example, a heavy truck moving rapidly has a large momentum—it takes a large or prolonged force to get the truck up to this speed, and it takes a large or prolonged force to bring it to a stop afterwards. If the truck were lighter, or moving more slowly, then it would have less momentum. Like velocity, linear momentum is a vector quantity, possessing a direction as well as a magnitude: read less

All objects have mass; so if an object is moving, then it has momentum - it has its mass in motion. The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two variables: how much stuff is moving and how fast the stuff is moving. Momentum depends upon the variables mass and velocity.

"Read , Recall and Procure"

Momentum is a conserved quantity. That is, within a closed system of interacting objects, the total momentum of that system does not change value. This allows one to calculate and predict the outcomes when objects bounce into one another.

Momentum is a term which is used sports. A team that has the momentum is on the move and is going to take some effort to stop. It is also a physics term; it refers to the quantity of motion that an object has

Any moving body is said to possess momentum. An object which is at rest has no momentum. The force needed to stop or to move a body depends not only on its velocity, but also on its mass. Therefore, P= mv Where p= momentum, m=mass, v=velocity

Not a tutor but a friendly guide to help you.

Simply you can say that momentum is the quantity to measure the extent of velocity with which a body of mass 'm' is moving. hence momentum = mass x Velocity i.e. p= m x v
