The quantity of motion in a body is known as momentum of the body. when a body moves in straight line or moving with uniform motion then the momentum of the body is said to be linear momentum.
The formula of linear momentum is P=mv
It means that momentum depends on mass of the body and velocity of the body with which it is moving.
i think momentum does not depend on the forces.
Momentum of a system is always conserved means that initial momentum is always equal to final momentum.
Thank you.

Answer:
No, internal forces can not change the momentum of the system.
Explanation:
Internal forces are forces that act within a system. We define the momentum of a system in terms of its centre of mass. Since, the momentum of centre of mass of a system can be changed only through external forces, hence, internal forces can not change the momentum of the system.
However, they may or may not change the kinetic energy of the system internally but they have nothing to do with the centre of mass and net momentum.
