Question

What is the relationship between the mass, velocity, and momentum of an object?


A.
The mass of an object is directly proportional to its velocity and momentum.

B.
The velocity of an object is directly proportional to its mass and momentum.

C.
The momentum of an object is directly proportional to its mass and velocity.

D.
Keeping the momentum constant, the velocity of an object is directly proportional to its mass.

Answer 1

The momentum of an object is directly proportional to its mass and velocity. (C)

Answer 2

Answer:

C.  

The momentum of an object is directly proportional to its mass and velocity.

Explanation:

Momentum of object is measure of the impact of the force that occurs for a given interval of time.

As we know by Newton's 2nd Law

$F = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}$

so we will say

$\Delta P = F\Delta t$

also we know that momentum is product of mass and velocity of object so we can say

$P = mass \times velocity$

so here correct answer would be

C.  

The momentum of an object is directly proportional to its mass and velocity.
