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.

As we'll see later when we discuss momentum, the most general form of Newton's second law is not F=ma, but F=dp/dt, where p is momentum. Here F is the net force on the body - that is, the vector sum of all the individual forces acting on it.
