of a body in motion) The tendency of a body to maintain its inertial motion; the product of its mass and velocity. The impetus, either of a body in motion, or of an idea or course of events. (i.e: a moment

Answer 2

Answer:

Linear momentum :

It is product of mass and velocity of an object.

i.e. p = m v

The SI unit is kg m / sec .

Conservation of linear momentum :

For any collision occurring in an isolated system, momentum is conserved.

m₁ v₁ = m₂ v₂
