Momentum. If the mass of an object is m and it has a velocity v, then the momentum of the object is defined to be its mass multiplied by its velocity. momentum= mv. Momentum has both magnitude and direction and thus is a vector quantity. The units of momentum are kg m s−1 or newton seconds, N s.

Answer:
In Newtonian mechanics, linear momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction. If m is an object's mass and v is its velocity, then the object's momentum is \mathbf{p} = m \mathbf{v}
