what is meant by linear momentum
Answers
Answer:
Linear momentum is the vector quantity and defined as the product of the mass of an object, m, and its velocity, v. The letter ‘p’ is applied to express it and used as momentum for short. Please note that the body’s momentum is always in the same direction as its velocity vector. It’s a conserved quantity which means that the total momentum of a system is constant. The units of linear momentum are kg m/s.
The linear momentum formula is given by,
P = m v
Where,
m = mass
v = velocity

Momentum simply means mass in motion or it is the quantity of motion of a moving body. The more momentum a moving object has, the harder it is to stop. The quantitative value of momentum is equal to the product of mass ‘m’ of an object an its speed ‘v’.
