Linear momentum is defined as the product of a system’s mass multiplied by its velocity. Momentum is directly proportional to the object’s mass and also its velocity. Thus the greater an object’s mass or the greater its velocity, the greater its momentum.

(2) Equation of motion: A body acted upon by a force moves in such a manner that the time rate of change of momentum equals the force. and (3) Action and reaction: If two bodies exert forces on each other these forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

More generally, momentum is a vector, defined by p=mv Curiously, there is no named SI unit for measuring momentum. Momentum in SI units is measured in units of kgm/s.
