The measure of the difficulty to bring a moving body to a halt.

The momentum of the body is equal to the product of the mass and the velocity of that body:

p = mv (where p and v are vectors)

Where (SI units used):
p is the momentum in Newton seconds (Ns or sec Newtons, sN)
m is the mass of the body in kilograms (kg)
v is the velocity of the body in metres per second (ms^-1)
1. A truck coming towards you at 100 ms^-1 will be hard to stop with your body because it has a lot of momentum.

2. A tenis ball thrown at you at .5 ms^-1 will be pretty easy to stop with your face because it has little momentum.

Momentum = Motion in Mass.
He has always been known as a straight A's guy. She is going to have a Physics exam upcoming weeks. She asks him to come over and tutor her..

Girl: I have trouble understand the concept of "Momentum" and how it works. Can you help me...?

Guy: Sure! It's pretty easy. P = m•v whereas P is momentum, defined by M (Mass) and V (Velocity). In another word, momentum is "mass in motion".

Girl: Can you give me an example..?

Guy: Sure...

Girl: Yes..? Why are you blushing? Do you have a fever? Are you alright? Do you need a cup of water or something..?

Guy: .. Can you come here? I will show you an example that you are asking for..

....
Momentum..
Don't you love physics? It's the fundamental of many things..

The word you're thinking of is "memento", which is a reminder of past events.
You: "I think I'll keep this as a momentum"

Me: "sigh"
