Question

what is linear momentum?what are the factors on which does it depend?​

Answer 1

The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two variables: how much stuff is moving and how fast the stuff is moving. Momentum depends upon the variables mass and velocity. In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object.

Both mass and velocity

Momentum, a quantity that's a good measure of the motion of a body, depends on mass and on velocity. To work out which has the larger momentum you have to pay attention to both the mass and the velocity: →p = m × →v.

Answer 2

• The product of mass and linear velocity of a body is known as its Linear Momentum.
• It is denoted by 'p'.
• Mathematically, p = mv
• SI unit is => kg.m/s
• It is a vector quantity.
• Momentum is a quantity that is always conserved.

Factors upon which linear momentum of a body depends:

• Mass of the moving body.
• Velocity of the object.
