If an object is at rest it has inertia, which has to be overcome to make it move.
When an object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed it has momentum, which must be overcome to slow or stop the object

How do the mass and velocity of a moving object affects its momentum?
As the velocity decreases, the momentum increases. Mass is the matter inside of something and momentum is how hard it is to stop something. Therefore momentum needs mass to function because without mass there would be no momentum. So think of the sentence above like this: velocity ( a measure of momentum) decreases, the momentum (including mass inside an object) goes up therefore making the mass increase while the velocity decreases.
Two objects each have a mass of 70 kg what is their momentum?
Momentum is a measure of how hard it is going to be to get something to stop. Big objects going fast have lot of momentum. Getting hit by a truck will hurt more than getting hit by a fly. Momentum is worked out as mass x velocity so you need to know how fast it is going aswell as how much it weighs.
Does the p in p mv mean position?
No it does not. It represents momentum.
Momentum of a system is conserved only when?
When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.When no momentum is exchanged with other objects/systems.
When objects collide the totol inital momentum equals the total final momentum is what?
law of conservation of momentum
Angular momentum is a measure of?
angular momentum is the measure of angular motion in a body.
Momentum is the measure of?
velocity
In what unit of measure do you measure momentum?
kg-m/s
What is the momentum gives a measure?
Quantum of motion
Newton second law gives the measure of?
Momentum
Can the product of mass and displacement be taken as a measure of momentum?
No.
What is the calculation of momentum?
Momentum of a particle is the measure of quantity of motion in its and is given by product of its mass and velocity. That is p = mv ,if m and v are known ,momentum can be calculated.
What technical indicators for charts indicate momentum and which measure trend?
Momentum indicators: - RSI - CCI - Stochastic Momentum Index Trend indicators: - ADX - CSI - MACD
What does a newtons cradle measure?
It doesn't actually measure anything. It does, however, demonstrate conservation of momentum.
What units are used to measure momentum?
kg*m/s
What is used to measure momentum?
A scale, a stopwatch and a ruler. Weigh the object of which you want to know the momentum, and determine its speed using the stopwatch and ruler. The momentum can then be calculated as the product of the weight and the speed.
The base units of measure that make momentum include what?
meters and seconds
