Question

An object has more momentum if it has which of the following?

Answer 1

Answer:

C.) A high velocity and Large mass.

Explanation:

Momentum of any object is defined by following formula

Here :  m = mass of object

v = velocity of object

now we know that since momentum is product of mass and velocity

So in order to have more momentum we need the value of this product to be more.  So this product will me large is both the physical quantity will be more in magnitude. So if mass is large and velocity will be more then the product of them will be large and hence the momentum of object will be more. Btw I had that question too.
