Momentum is equal to the mass of an object *multiplied* by its velocity.

Here's the formula:

Momentum (p) = Mass (m) × Velocity (v)

p = m × v

Think of it this way:

* Mass represents how much "stuff" an object has.

* Velocity represents how fast that "stuff" is moving.

* Momentum is the measure of how much "force" it takes to stop the object.

So, a heavier object moving faster will have more momentum than a lighter object moving slower.
