Without looking at a dictionary definition, I define momentum as the “muchness” of something. I always think it has something to do with magnitude, but after actually researching the definition, I found it’s kind of like it…but at the same time completely different. Momentum is defined in the dictionary as the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of mass and its velocity. To me this basically means the speed of a moving object and how powerful the speed of that object is. Also, I concluded that the equation would have to be M (momentum) = m (mass) x v (velocity). This is the equation you would need if you wanted to find any of these three.
I had the same idea to, momentum would have to deal with the magnitude of how fast or powerful and object was traveling.
