In introductory mechanics, the momentum of a particle is its mass times its velocity. In electrodynamics, the momentum of a field is proportional to the cross-product of the electric field with the magnetic field. In special relativity, momentum is generalized to four-momentum.

Is there an intuitive way to view the concept of momentum?
So basically momentum is the property of the object that makes it easier or harder to stop, i.e. the momentum of a body is what changes the force that must be applied to stop it. …

In which direction should the momentum be conserved in case of colliding objects?
Long answer:
The final momentum is determined by the sum of the momenta of the different objects. You have to understand that momentum has components, along the separate x and y axes. … The larger ball has momentum only in the x-axis and none in the y-axis(for obvious reasons). …
