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

The momentum is equal to the mass times the speed of an object.
If an object is heavier or faster it will have more momentum.
Half the mass but twice the speed means you have the same momentum.
Momentum is similar to kinetic energy but the kinetic energy of an object is half its mass times its velocity squared (1/2 x kg x m^(2)/s^2 )
