  1. 1/moʊˈmentəm/ · /məʊˈmentəm/動量；(氣勢)衝勁

    In physics, momentum is how hard it is to stop a moving object — it depends on both how heavy the object is and how fast it's going. In everyday talk, momentum is the strength or force that keeps something moving forward once it's already started, like a team that keeps winning after their first big victory.
