Question

Is momentum and linear momentum are same??

Answer 1

Linear momentum  is a vector quantity defined as the product of an object's mass, m, and its velocity, v. Linear momentum  is denoted by the letter p and is called "momentum" for short: Note that a body's momentum  is always in the same direction as its velocity vector. The units of momentum are kg.

Answer 2

Momentum is scientifically defined as the actual quantity of motion or the kinematical and the dynamical property, contained or generated in a given object, due to its mass and velocity...

Momentum is of two types:

• The linear momentum of an object is numerically obtained as the product of its mass and velocity vector undergoing translatory motion...
• The angular momentum of an object is numerically obtained as the product of its moment of inertia and angular velocity undergoing rotational motion...
