Im having a hard time understanding momentum with people defining it in terms that don’t really explain what it is. I think that getting a feel of what the unit for momentum is might help me

It is much easier to understand if you look at it as lbs x ft/s…
The unit is telling you how to calculate the momentum if you know its mass and velocity.
As usual, the definition they give you for momentum in high school is not fully correct since massless particles (e.g. photons) can have and transfer momentum.
