Momentum is a quantity that describes both the mass and the velocity of an object. To find out the momentum of a given object, multiply the object's mass (kg) by its velocity (m/s).
Think of it this way: momentum is sort of the "strength" of an object's motion. An object that has a lot of momentum will be harder to stop than an object that has less momentum.
- Which is harder to stop, a Bowling ball or a Golf ball? Well, if they are moving at the same velocity, the bowling ball will be tougher to stop, because it has more mass.
- How about if you have two 7 kg bowling balls that are both rolling toward you, but one is rolling at 0.5 m/s and the other is rolling at 10 m/s? You'd better get out of the way of the 10 m/s ball--it'll break your ankle! :-)

Is there momentum when an object is not moving?
no
What is a momentum of an object of mass 'm' moving the velocity v?
Momentum is mass times velocity. Note that velocity and speed are not exactly the same thing. Velocity is a term used in physics to define both the speed and the direction of a moving object, so if two objects are moving at the same speed but in opposite directions, they have opposite momentum.
What is the momentum of an object that is not moving?
0.
What moving object depends on the objects mass and velocity?
That's the object's linear momentum.
Does an object moving at a constant speed have momentum?
Yes. An object moving at all in any direction at any speed has momentum due to inertia.
What is the property of moving object that depends upon the object's mass and moving velocity?
Momentum
A measurement of the motion of something. This is equal to the product of the moving objects's mass times it's velocity?
== == Momentum is the product of the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity (or speed). Momentum is conserved so if a moving object hits a staionary object the total momentum of the two objects after the collision is the same as the momentum of the original moving object.
What keeps an object moving if there is no friction?
Momentum .
Is the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at a constant speed is constant?
determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.
What is the property of an objects mass and velocity?
An object's mass and its velocity define the object's MOMENTUM.
What factors are involved in the momentum of moving object?
The object's mass and speed.
Determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.?
determine if the momentum of an object moving in a circular path at constant speed is constant.
