Question

Define momentum of a body on what factors does the momentum of a body depends

Answer 1

Momentum is a vector quantity that is the product of the mass and the velocityof an object or particle. The standard unit of momentum magnitude is the kilogram-meter per second (kg · m/s or kg · m · s -1 ). Alternatively, the gram-centimeter per second (g · cm/s or g · cm · s -1 ) can be used to express momentum magnitude. The direction of a momentum vector can be expressed in various ways, depending on the Momentum is a vector quantity that is the product of the mass and the velocityof an object or particle.

Alternatively, the gram-centimeter per second (g · cm/s or g · cm · s -1 ) can be used to express momentum magnitude. The direction of a momentum vector can be expressed in various ways, depending on the number of dimensions involved, and is the same as the direction of the velocity vector.

Momentum of a body depends on :
1 - The mass of the body.
2 - the velocity possessed by the body.

Answer 2

Answer:

Linear momentum : The product of mass of a body and its linear velocity is called linear  

momentum of the body.  

p= mv

Factors on which linear momentum of a body depends :

(i) Mass of the body.  

(ii) Linear velocity of the body.
