predict why momentum is a property of moving objects but not stationary objects

Answer 1

Momentum P=Mv

= Mass x velocity

If object is stationary , the velocity will be zero ⇒ Momentum is also zero.

So momentum is only possible in moving objects and not for stationary ones

Answer 2

momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Velocity is the rate of change of speed. If speed is 0 i.e object is at rest, velocity will be zero and subsequently, momentum will be zero as well because mass *0 velocity= 0 momentum. In other words momentum and velocity are directly proportional.
