Its mass and its velocity. In Newtonian mechanics you have a rather simple formula for calculating the momentum of an object:
p = m * v
Where p is the momentum, m the mass, and v the velocity.
In special relativity (i.e. when the speed approaches that of light) you have to use a different formula:
p = gamma * m * v
Where gamma is the gamma factor given by 1/sqrt(1-sqr(v/c)), with c the speed of light. This formula becomes the Newtonian one in the limit of v going to zero.

What factors are involved in the momentum of moving object?
The object's mass and speed.
How does friction affect interia?
Friction does not affect inertia, but it affects momentum. Momentum is the product of the mass of an object and its speed. Friction forces, if present, will always act to decrease the momentum of a moving object.
What factors affect momentum?
force and acceleration
Which two things affect an object's momentum?

How does momentum of an object affect its motion?
Because high and low momentum = high and low acceleration because it depends. =]

How does mass of an object affect the force it applies during a collision?
The affect of force on the object during collision is described by a quantity called momentum. It is defined as p = mv where = p is momentum, m = mass of the object and v is velocity.

Because high and low momentum = high and low acceleration because it depends. =]
When you want to change an object's velocity you have to overcome?
1. The Object's INERTIA. 2. The Object's MOMENTUM. Both of these factors are directly dependent on the Object's MASS.
What are the two factors which determine the momentum of a body?
Momentum depends on the mass and the velocity of an object. In physics, P=mv, momentum equals mass times velocity.
When ever an object is standing still the momentum is?
When an object is still it has no momentum. That is, the momentum is zero.
What are some true statements about momentum?
Momentum can be transferred from one object to another. Momentum can be slowed by an intervening object. Momentum can be hastened by an intervening object.
The momentum of an object depends on what two factors?
For an object to have momentum, it must have mass and velocity.
What factors affect the weight of an object on Earth?
Only the object's mass.
