Question

A car’s momentum is p when it is traveling with a velocity of v. If the velocity of that car doubles, what is the new momentum of the car?

Answer 1

Let, p=mv where m is the mass of the car.

When velocity doubles, p'=m2v=2p

Answer 2

Hi friend,

We know that,

P= mv.

P ∝ v.

If the velocity is doubled, then the momentum becomes doubled as the velocity is directly proportional to the momentum.

Hope this helped you a little!!!
