Momentum equals mass times velocity. Velocity has speed and direction.
A body with more mass has more momentum than one that has less mass, if going at the same speed. A body travelling at a faster rate has more momentum than the slower, if both have same mass. The more momentum an object has, the harder it is to stop, slow it down or alter its course. When the object changes diretion its momentum also changes.

Most simply said, a strength or force that keeps growing.
If it stops growing it has lost its momentum.

Ya know when a bug splats against your windshield? The time right before it makes contact.....that's momentum!!!
