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.

Noun: a friend who is usually only called upon by a friend when a more primary/prominent friend is unavailable.
Taken from the term “second string” in an athletic competition situation. In football, if the star quarterback gets injured during a play, the second string is called off the bench to replace him/her. A “Second String Friend” is essentially benched until needed, if ever.
Synonyms: Plan B, Second Choice, Secondary Friend, Benched Until Needed

I got a call from X the other night. She had an extra ticket to a concert she bought for a friend, but they couldn’t make it so she called me to ask if I wanted to go because I am her Second String Friend.
