Imagine that a car and a truck both have the same speed on the road. Which one can stop easily ? Of course , it is hard to stop the truck relative to the car. The reason is that the car and the truck have the same speed bit different masses. Thus , we can say that to stop a heavier body is harder than to stop a lighter one even both of them have the same speed.
If two tennis balls are hit towards you in different velocities , it is not equally easier to stop them. The ball in more velocity is difficult to stop relatively. Thus , we can say that to stop a body in more velocity is harder than to stop a body with less velocity , eventhough they have the same speed.
The physical quantity that describes the quantity of motion of a body is called momentum. The momentum of a moving body or linear momentum is defined as the product of mass & velocity of a moving body.
Mathematically ,
Momentum = mass × velocity
i.e p = m × v
The SI unit of momentum is kg • m/s. Since velocity is a vector quantity and multiplied with mass ( scalar quantity) , momentum becomes a vector quantity. Direction of momentum is the same as velocity.
Hope I helped ! ♡
