What do you mean by linear momentum

1.	What do you mean by linear momentum
Answer» Linear momentum is the vector quantity and defined as the product of mass of an object, m, and its velocity, v. The letter ‘p’ is applied to express it and used as momentum for short.\xa0Please 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.\xa0The units of linear momentum are kg m/s.The linear momentum formula is given by,\xa0P = m vWhere,m = massv = velocity
