Is this in the rule, anything about momentum?

If she's on her feet, and gains player control (holding the ball), and then slides ON HER FEET, it's a travel. If she's down on the floor and it's her body that slides, it's legal, as long as she doesn't roll, and as long as she doesn't try to get up without starting a dribble first.
