Momentum is calculated by multiplying an object's mass by its what?
its velocity.
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 moving object depends on the objects mass and velocity?
That's the object's linear momentum.
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.
Is the linear momentum of an object a scalar?
No, it's a vector.
Momentum is calculated by multiplying an object's mass by its what?
its velocity.
The product of an object mass and velocity is called its What?
That's the object's linear momentum.

What is the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity?
The product of mass and velocity of an object is its momentum.
What moving object depends on the objects mass and velocity?
That's the object's linear momentum.
What is the product of an object and the object's mass and velocity?
That's the object's linear momentum.
What is the product of the mass and velocity of an object?
That's the object's linear momentum.
What is an object's mass multiplied by its velocity?
mass x velocity = momentum. (velocity = speed with a direction)
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.

No, it's a vector.
What equations link angular and linear momentum If you exert a force on a free floating body it will have angular and linear momentum In what proportions and how are they linked?
angular momentum = linear momentum (of object) x perpendicular distance (from origin to the object) where x stands for cross product. angular momentum = mv x r (perpendicular dist.)
What is the momentum of the canoe?
The momentum of ANY object - not just a canoe - is obtained by multiplying its velocity times its mass.
