By definition, we have to:

Where,

p: linear momentum

m: mass of the object

v: object speed

Therefore, knowing the mass of an object and its speed, we have the linear momemtum of the object.

In general, it is useful to calculate the momentum of objects in conservation problems to find the velocity before or after the collision of two objects.
