Linear momentum of an object is its mass times its velocity. Since momentum does not have a unit name of its own its units are whatever you use for mass & velocity. The SI units would be Kg-M/S . The cgs units would be gm-cm/S , and the English units would be Slug-Ft/S . It can also be expressed in terms of force units. SI: Newton-Sec. , Cgs :dyne-Sec, English: Pound-Sec.

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.


When is linear momentum conserved?

Linear momentum is conserved in a closed system when there are no external forces acting on it. This means that the total linear momentum of the system before an event is equal to the total linear momentum after the event.


How can the linear momentum of an object be calculated?

The linear momentum of an object can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object by its velocity. The formula for linear momentum is: momentum = mass x velocity.


How can linear momentum be converted to angular momentum?

Linear momentum can be converted to angular momentum through the principle of conservation of angular momentum. When an object with linear momentum moves in a curved path or rotates, its linear momentum can be transferred to create angular momentum. This conversion occurs when there is a change in the object's direction or speed of rotation.


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 the formula of linear momentum?

linear momentum=product of mass and velocity


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.


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.


Jet engine works on either on conservation of linear momentum or angular momentum?

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 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.


Do the results of the experiments support the conservation of linear momentum?

Yes, if the total linear momentum before and after the experiments remains constant, then the results support the conservation of linear momentum. This principle states that the total linear momentum of a system remains constant if no external forces act on the system.
