Momentum
To me momentum is the physics of why things move the way they do.  I think that inertia has a big role in an objects momentum.  There must be a direct relationship between the two.  The more inertia an object has the greater its momentum will be.  This sounds a little confusing at first because we had just learned that when two objects collide no matter what the mass they both put the same amount of force on each other.  I looked up the formula for momentum and this is what I found: p=m*v (p= momentum, m=mass, and v= velocity).
Example of something with momentum: A baseball being thrown (Tyler Meditz)
