Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Linear momentum is a measure of an object's mass and velocity, while angular momentum involves an object's mass, its velocity, and the radial distance from a pivot point (the radius). Thus, both a radial distance and different interpretations of speed (linear vs. angular velocity) distinguish linear from angular momentum.
