Question

how do linear momentum and angular momentum differ? angular momentum depends on the distribution of mass, whereas linear momentum depends on the total mass. angular momentum depends on tangential velocity, whereas linear momentum depends on the rotational velocity. angular momentum depends on the total mass, whereas linear momentum depends on the distribution of mass. angular momentum depends on the distribution of mass times the total mass, whereas linear momentum depends only on the distribution of mass.

Explanation:

Linear momentum ($p = mv$) depends on total mass $m$ and linear velocity $v$. Angular momentum ($L = I\omega$) depends on the moment - of - inertia $I$ (which is related to mass distribution) and angular velocity $\omega$. So angular momentum depends on the distribution of mass, whereas linear momentum depends on the total mass.

Answer:

Angular momentum depends on the distribution of mass, whereas linear momentum depends on the total mass.
