Momentum = mass * velocity

In physics, the symbol for the quantity momentum is the small
case "p"; thus, the above equation can be rewritten as

p = m * v
where m = mass and v=velocity. The equation illustrates that momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and directly proportional to the object's velocity.
