    The momentum of an object is defined as the mass of the object times the velocity of the object, as P = m*v.

    So the equipment needed would be:

    Something to measure the mass of the object, like a balance.

    Something to measure the speed of the object, like a doppler radar, or a simpler thing may be a cronometer, with that you can measure the amount of time that the object needs to travel a given distance, and with that you can obtain the speed of the object.

    Now you can notice that speed is different than velocity, this is true, velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, then you need something to fix the direction in which the object moves, in this way you can determine the velocity.
