How it works
p = m × v
Momentum is mass times velocity. A heavy or fast object carries more momentum, which is why it is harder to stop.

Frequently asked questions
What are the units of momentum?
Kilogram-metres per second (kg·m/s) when mass is in kg and velocity in m/s.
Can momentum be negative?
Yes — the sign shows direction; a velocity in the opposite direction gives negative momentum.
