<P> In Newtonian mechanics , linear momentum , translational momentum , or simply momentum ( pl . momenta ) is the product of the mass and velocity of an object . It is a three - dimensional vector quantity , possessing a direction and a magnitude . If m is an object 's mass and v is the velocity ( also a vector ) , then the momentum is </P>
