Momentum is a characteristic of moving objects related to its mass and velocity. It is calculated by multiplying mass and velocity, with units of kg*m/s. An object's momentum is in the direction of its velocity, and greater momentum means it is harder to stop the object. Both greater mass and velocity result in higher momentum. The total momentum in a system is conserved during interactions and collisions according to the law of conservation of momentum.
