No, it's a vector.

Is linear momentum scalar quantity?

No, linear momentum is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. It is determined by the product of an object's mass and its velocity in a given direction.


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.


What is the formula of linear momentum?

linear momentum=product of mass and velocity


The product of an object mass and velocity is called its What?

That's the object's linear momentum.


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.


An object that has linear momentum must also have?

Momentum. The formula for kinetic energy is: KE = .5 * m *v^2 The formula for momentum is: p = m * v If an object has kinetic energy, then both mass and velocity are non-zero, which implies that the momentum is also non-zero.


The linear momentum of an object can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object by?

its velocity. The equation for linear momentum is given by p = m * v, where p is the momentum, m is the mass, and v is the velocity of the object.

Is momentum a vector?

Momentum is a vector quantity because the definition of momentum is that it is an object's mass multiplied by velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that has direction and the mass is scalar. When you multiply a vector by a scalar, it will result in a vector quantity.


What is an object's mass multiplied by its velocity?

mass x velocity = momentum. (velocity = speed with a direction)


Do all objects have a momentum?

No. An object has momentum only if it is in motion..There are two kinds of momentum: linear momentum(or translational momentum), and angular momentum (or rotational momentum)..Linear momentum is a vector quantity and is calculated as mass x velocity (p = mv). Therefore, if an object's velocity is zero, then it has no linear momentum, but if an object is in motion, then it does have linear momentum..VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Velocity, and therefore linear momentum, is always relative to the frame of reference. For a more complete discussion about velocity, see the related answer, referenced below, entitled 'How to Find Velocity'..Angular momentum is a pseudovector quantity that describes the momentum of an object that is spinning or rotating in place. An object has angular momentum only when it is spinning, or rotating about an axis. When an object is not spinning or rotating, then it does not have angular momentum..It is possible for an object to have only linear momentum, only angular momentum, or both angular and linear momentum. Note that this discussion falls apart in quantum mechanics, so we are only discussing classical physics - that is, every day observable objects, and not light particles (photons), electrons, or other quantum particles..All objects do have inertia, which is a resistance to a change in its momentum.


What is the difference between linear momentum and angular momentum?

Linear momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity in a straight line, measuring how difficult it is to stop the object's motion. Angular momentum, on the other hand, is the product of an object's moment of inertia and angular velocity, measuring how difficult it is to stop the object's rotational motion around an axis.
