If the speed of the particle is doubled. Then the value of the momentum also gets doubled.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

The sum of an entity's speed and mass is known as its linear momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum in Newton's laws of motion. It has both a magnitude and a direction, making it a vector quantity. The SI unit of momentum is kg-m / s.

Let m be the mass and v be the velocity of an object. Then the momentum is given as,

P = mv kg-m / s

A particle is moving at a speed less than c / 2. If the speed of the particle is doubled.

P = m(2v)

P = 2mv

If the particle's speed is twice. The momentum's value is then increased by two.

More about the momentum link is given below.

What is defect of vision

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The vision becomes blurred due to the refractive defects of the eye. There are mainly three common refractive defects of vision. These are (i) myopia or near-sightedness, (ii) Hypermetropia or far – sightedness, and (iii) Presbyopia. These defects can be corrected by the use of suitable spherical lenses.

The correct answer is the amoeba will deploy its pseudopods (cytoplasmic extentions) to capture the prey and phagocyte.

The amoeba most known and probably the most representative of the kind. Large (up to 500 microns), common in stagnant waters, extremely voracious as evidenced by multiple digestive vacuoles.

Amoebae are characterized by a deformable cell body emitting changes of shape, the pseudopods, which allow them to crawl on a support or to capture microscopic prey by phagocytosis.
