"The mass of an object multiplied by its velocity."
Explanation: Linear momentum p = m v (a vector with direction of the velocity; units kg·m/s). It is distinct from potential energy (energy), inertia at rest (mass/resistance to acceleration), and weight (force = m g, which depends on gravity). In relativity momentum becomes p = γ m v.
