what is liner Momentum ?
give one Example
Answers
Answer:
For example, a heavy truck moving rapidly has a large momentum—it takes a large or prolonged force to get the truck up to this speed, and it takes a large or prolonged force to bring it to a stop afterwards. If the truck were lighter, or moving more slowly, then it would have less momentum.

Linear Momentum :-
Linear momentum is the product of the mass of a body and its velocity.
i.e., = m
Linear momentum is a vector. It has the same direction as the direction of velocity of the body. SI unit :- kg/ms, CGS unit :- g cm/s
Dimensional formula :- [M¹L¹T ]
If a body of mass m changes its velocity from to then the change in the momemtum of body is Momemtum and change in momemtum both have same direction but this is not always the case.
⟶ For example :-
When a stone is rotated with uniform speed in a horizontal plane by means of string, the magnitude of momemtum is fixed but its direction changes.
