It means mass x velocity


but you still think that momentum is not a word that is used in place of the force that a moving object has due to its movement.

F = ma is mass times acceleration.

p = mv is mass times velocity

in a collision the ONLY DIFFERENCE is that momentum includes a direction.

if there is an accelerating object accelerating at 1 m/s
and a object that has a velocity of 40 m/s

and they both have a mass of 100 kg and they both impact another object at exactly 40 m/s in the same direction the momentum will be exactly the same at each impact.

so when your dealing with a moving object that is not accelerating you can and should use the force of momentum.
