Momentum is a property of moving objects but not stationary objects. You can see this in the formula because momentum equals mass times velocity squared (p=m*v^2). You would not have momentum if you didn't have velocity. Stationary objects have potential energy, and things with potential energy do not have velocity. This is why momentum is a property of moving objects but not of stationary objects.

A physical quantity is defined as mass per uint volume .what is its si unit.

A physical quantity is a property of a material or system that can be quantified by measurement. A physical quantity can be expressed as the combination of a numerical value and a unit. For example, the physical quantity mass can be quantified as n kg, where n is the numerical value and kg is the unit. A physical quantity possesses at least two characteristics in common, one is numerical magnitude and other is the unit in which it is measured.
