You can derive it from accelerating an object to a certain speed. Assume constant acceleration (and therefore constant force), and calculate how much work (force x distance) you need to get the object to a specific speed.

What is the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity?

The product of mass and velocity of an object is its momentum.


Is it true that momentum is not equal to the mass of an object divided by its velocity?

That is true because momentum is mass times velocity
