    What is the momentum p, of an object of mass m, moving with a velocity v ?
    Question

    What is the momentum p, of an object of mass m, moving with a velocity v ?

    A.

    P = vm1^{-1}​​

    B.

    P = mv2^{-2}​​

    C.

    P = mv

    D.

    P = (mv)2^{-2}

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is: C) P = mv
    Explanation:
    Momentum (p) is defined as the product of an object's mass (m) and velocity (v). It is a vector quantity and is expressed mathematically as:
    P=mvP = mvP=mv
    Momentum depends directly on mass and velocity, meaning a higher mass or velocity results in greater momentum.
    Information Booster:
    • SI Unit of Momentum: kg·m/s

    • Momentum : It has both magnitude and direction.

    • Law of Conservation of Momentum: The total momentum of an isolated system remains constant unless an external force acts on it.

    • Newton’s Second Law: Force is the rate of change of momentum (F = dp/dt).
