Relationship between the linear momentum required to make positive velocity variations in the asteroids as a function of the mass of the asteroids in a scale of \(10^{10}\). The results for negative changes in velocity are symmetrically equal, having a negative momentum value. We are using the asteroids 99942 Apophis, 65803 Didymos and 101955 Bennu, the latter being the target of this work.
