The first impression of momentum that I have is of the pendulum ball. When you raise and let go of the outside ball it creates force that is transformed to the other side. I also think of a kick or battement (French for an outward movement which is also a dance term). The more force you push on the ground will allow the momentum of the battement to increase in height. Although these are only my interpretation of what momentum is, the real and standardized definition for momentum is a property of a moving body that the body has by virtue of its mass and motion and that is equal to the product of the body's mass and velocity; broadly: a property of a moving body that determines the length of time required to bring it to rest when under the action of a constant force or moment found in the Webster’s Dictionary. In simpler words, momentum is the strength or force gained by motion or by a series of events.
