True. Momentum is a vector quantity that depends on an object's mass and velocity. It is calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Momentum} (p) = \text{mass} (m) \times \text{velocity} (v)
\]
Since both mass and velocity have specific directions, momentum also has both a magnitude and a direction, confirming that it is a vector.
