What is momentum??

Dear student

Momentum of an object is defined as the product of its mass and velocity.
Momentum = mass x velocity
Examples given below will give some physical idea about momentum
We  need greater force for stopping or pushing a heavier body than a lighter body for a given speed. 
Momentum of a bullet thrown at moderate speed is less than a bullet fired from a gun which can pierce through layers of an object.
