Momentum

Momentum

What is it?

The momentum of a body is its mass multiplied by its velocity. A body in
motion has more momentum than the same body at rest.

Give me an example!

If two bodies have the same mass but are traveling at different velocities, then the one that is traveling faster has more momentum. If two bodies are traveling at the same velocity, the one with the greater mass has more momentum.
