momenta
Mass times velocity
Momenta is a plural of momentum, used mainly in physics and mathematics when referring to multiple distinct quantities of momentum: The momenta of the colliding particles were calculated separately.
In general usage, momentums is more common, but momenta appears in technical writing where Latin plurals remain standard.
