In this
video, we can see that we have a boulder that is moving at a constant speed.
This object has a value called momentum, and this object can only have this
value when it is moving because of its equation. It equation is p=mv which
means that momentum is equal to mass times its velocity, so when an object has
0 velocity, it has no momentum, but when this mass of 100 kilograms starts
going about 18 meters per second, it suddenly has a momentum of 1800 kg*m/s. So
we see that both the amount of mass and the velocity of an object affect its
momentum.
