How to identify momentum?

Answer

You can identify momentum by observing:

  • The mass of the object (heavier objects have potentially more momentum)
  • The velocity (faster objects have more momentum)
  • How difficult it is to stop the object
  • The damage or effect when the object collides with something

Objects with high momentum are difficult to stop quickly and can exert significant force in collisions.
