What is linear momentum? Represent it in formula form.
(N/A) Linear momentum is defined as the product of the mass $(m)$ of an object and its velocity $(v)$. It is a vector quantity,meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The direction of the momentum is the same as the direction of the velocity of the object.
The formula for linear momentum $(p)$ is given by:
$p = m \times v$
Where:
$p$ = Linear momentum
$m$ = Mass of the object
$v$ = Velocity of the object
The $SI$ unit of linear momentum is $kg \cdot m/s$.
