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).
