The quantity that combines mass and velocity is momentum (p = mv), where m is mass and v is velocity.

Despite its small mass, the bullet travels at high velocity, leading to a substantial amount of kinetic energy upon impact, causing damage.
The kinetic energy and momentum of the moving truck increase with velocity. This means more force is exerted in a collision, making it potentially lethal.
The inertia of an object is quantitatively measured by its mass. Heavier or more massive objects have larger inertia.
A force that is just enough to cause a small cart to pick up a large velocity will produce a negligible change in the motion of a train. This is because the train has much more mass and thus much ...
