Answer:

Product

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete sentence is:

"Momentum of an object is equal to the product of mass and velocity".

In fact, momentum is a vector quantity, which is defined by the following equation:


p=mv

where

m = mass of the object

v = velocity of the object

The SI units of the momentum are
kg \cdot m \cdot s^(-1).

Momentum is a vector, so it has a magnitude and also a direction (the same as the velocity).
