What is linear momentum?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
Linear momentum is a fundamental property of a moving object, defined as the product of its mass and velocity. It represents the uantity of motion an object possesses and is a vector uantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The greater an object's mass or velocity, the more momentum it carries. This concept is crucial in understanding collisions, explosions, and the motion of objects in physics.
