(Any unit of mass) times (any unit of speed) is a unit of linear momentum. Angular momentum would need radians.
In the SI (metric) system, it's kilogram meter per second kg.m.s-1 or Newton-second.

What is the formula of linear momentum?
linear momentum=product of mass and velocity
What is physical significance of linear momentum?
The same as momentum - sometimes called "linear momentum" to distinguish it from angular momentum. Linear momentum is the product of mass times velocity. It is a conserved quantity, making it very useful for certain calculations.
What is the difference between linear momentum and angular momentum?
angular mmtm is a cross product unlike linear momentum
What is momentam?
The moment of linear momentum is called angular momentum. or The vector product of position vector and linear momentum is called angular momentum.
Which component of linear momentum does not contribute to angular momentum?
Angular momentum is defined as the moment of linear momentum about an axis. So if the component of linear momentum is along the radius vector then its moment will be zero. So radial component will not contribute to angular momentum
What is linear momentum of a system of particles?
The linear momentum of a system of particles is simply the vector sum of the linear momentum of each of the particles.

How does impulse related to linear momentum?
Impulse is integral of linear momentum with respect to time, and in limits when that momentum was transferred.

When is linear momentum conserved?
Linear momentum is conserved until an external force is applied.
Jet engine works on either on conservation of linear momentum or angular momentum?
it works on the basis of conservation of linear momentum
What is physical significance of momentum?
Physically, linear momentum is "stored force" as that momentum is dissipated. Consider the linear momentum of a train carrying coal coming to a stop, quickly.
The product of an object mass and velocity is called its What?
That's the object's linear momentum.
Two ways angular momentum and linear momentum are alike?
They both have momentum and their equations are similar.
