Question

If an object doubles in mass, what happens to it momentum? Explain why.

Answer 1

Let's look at the equation for momentum (p)

$p=mv$

Where p is the momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity.

If an object doubles in mass then we have 2m and so:

$p=(2m)v\\p=2mv\\\\p=2(mv)$

If it doubles in mass, then the momentum is also doubled.
