Greater momentum.

Explanation:

When you are moving an object with mass, your momentum(mass x velocity) increases and then requires a resistive force to stop you. Newton's law says "An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by another force" so the greater the motion, the greater the force to stop you is.
