Momentum can be defined as "mass in motion." 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. In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object.
So , momentum = mass × velocity.
Example , momentum of a basketball , momentum of a car , momentum of a bus etc..

karthikps: Momentum is a vector quantity showing both direction and magnitude
karthikps: But magnitude of momentum shows only magnitude but not direction.
saiprasannabollu: ohhh
saiprasannabollu: ok thank you
karthikps: Kk
saiprasannabollu: hmm
karthikps: Any other questions
saiprasannabollu: No....questions are all cleared
karthikps: Okk I will leave bye
saiprasannabollu: ok bye

momentum = mass × velocity
it states that momentum is depend on mass and velocity and mass is directly proportional to velocity
momentum =mv formula
si unit = kgm/s
example . if we slap anyone it will hurt him more if mass and velocity is more

saiprasannabollu: thanks
