Mass * Velocity, mv, is the formula for momentum.
Extended:
This article goes over how E=mv was derived, and experimental evidence led to
E=mv^2
While E=mv^2 does match the data, there is no intuition for why the first
equation is wrong...this article gives some ideas and may peak someones

Mass times velocity is momentum. It is a physical quantity that describes the motion of an object and is given by the product of mass and velocity. Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
It is a line graph in which the horizontal axis represents time and the vertical graph represents the velocity of an object in a specific direction. The direction is usually radial: away from (positive) or towards (negative) from a fixed point of reference. No account is taken of motion in a transverse direction.
That's a graph in which one of the axes contains time, and another, the velocity. Usually that would show how velocity changes over time.
Force equals the mass times the rate of change of the velocity.
The product of an object's mass and velocity is known as momentum. Momentum is defined as mass times velocity and is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. It is often denoted by the symbol "p."
The product of mass in kilograms and velocity in meters per second is the momentum of the object, measured in kilogram-meters per second (kg*m/s).
assuming its not starting at zero, if an object velocity is doubled, its kinetic energy (KE) is four times. If its trebled , its KE is nine times equation : KE = (m*v^2)/2 joules m=mass v=velocity
Angular momentum is a measure of an object's rotational motion, determined by the mass of the object, its angular velocity (rate of rotation), and the distribution of mass around its axis of rotation. It is a vector quantity, with both magnitude and direction, and is conserved in the absence of external torques.
