The bigger momentum an object has, the harder it is to stop it. Momentum is defined as velocity times mass. An object with really big mass which moves really slowly (like a car moving slowly) is also hard to stop.

What is a characteristic of a moving object that is related to the mass and velocity of the object?

The momentum of an object is the product of the object's mass and velocity. This is essentially a measure of how hard it is to stop an object.


If you drive onto a moving object how fast is your speed when you are on that moving object?

To drive onto a moving object (as, for example, up a ramp onto a moving trailer), you must be going faster than the object to move forward up the ramp, but when you come to a stop relative to the object, you will be moving with the object, so must be moving at the same speed. You must, in fact, decelerate to a stop on the object, or your faster approach speed would carry you through and beyond it.
