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.

Newton's second law of motion in terms of momentum
I am reading a document and in answer to the question "State Newton’s second law of motion", the candidate answers that
The force acting on an object equals the rate of change of momentum of the object … I checked my Good Old Ohanian (2nd edition) and it says explicitly "The rate of change of momentum equals force" in section 5.5 The Momentum of a Particle.
