The momentum of an object is best described as the state of motion of an object with mass. In physics, momentum (often represented as \( p \)) is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity (\( p = mv \)). Therefore, it reflects both the mass of the object and its motion, making the second response the most accurate in this context.
