8.1 Linear Momentum and Force Linear Momentum The scientific definition of linear momentum is consistent with most people’s intuitive understanding of momentum: a large, fastmoving object has greater momentum than a smaller, slower object. Linear momentum is defined as the product of a system’s mass multiplied by its velocity. In symbols, linear momentum is expressed as.
