Momentum is equal to mass times velocity.
P = mV
So anyting that has a mass, wich is almost everything, and it has to be moving.
Some classic examples are;
rolling pool balls
moving cars/trucks
bullet after its been fired
A football player running
the ball at the end of a pendulum.

The answer above is not quite right - something doesn't have to have mass to have momentum. Photons have momentum E/c where E is the energy and c is the speed of light in a vacuum, even though they have no mass.
4 other objects with momentum are anything moving, anything falling, anything spinning (angular momentum) and badgers.

How specific does this have to be?? Basically anything has momentum! For example a figure skater builds momentum for a jump! I don't really know what your asking..because as you walk you have momentum...say you need to jump over something or get onto a curve you build your momentum!
