Solution

The equation for linear momentum is typically written as p = mv.

In this equation:

  • 'p' represents the (3) Linear Momentum vector. This is the overall momentum of the system, which is a vector quantity (meaning it has both magnitude and direction).

  • 'm' represents the (2) Mass of the system. This is the total mass of all the objects in the system.

  • 'v' represents the (1) Velocity of the system's center of mass. This is the speed and direction of the system's center of mass.
