Momentum in the most usual sense (in the sense of linear momentum) is defined as the product of mass and velocity of a particle.

Therefore, #vec p = mvec v#

However, there are other variations : One typically talks about Angular momentum in a particle in orbits! In such a case,

#l = Iomega# where, #l# is the Angular momentum, #I# is the moment of inertia, and #omega# is the Angular speed.

So that's how you do it.
