What is defined as the product of mass and velocity?

Correct option is A

Ans. (a)
Sol. The product of mass and velocity is known as momentum. It is a physical quantity that describes the motion of an object and is given by the formula:
· Momentum = mass × velocity Momentum is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Momentum – Correct answer. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, which describes the motion of an object.
· (b) Magnitude – Incorrect, as magnitude refers to the size or amount of a quantity, but it doesn’t describe the product of mass and velocity.
· (c) Direction – Incorrect, direction refers to the orientation of an object, not the product of mass and velocity.
· (d) Displacement – Incorrect, displacement refers to the change in position of an object, not its momentum.
