Question

give reasons momentum is vector quantity ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Momentum is a vector quantity. For a particle with mass, the momentum equals mass times velocity, and velocity is a vector quantity while mass is a scalar quantity. A scalar multiplied by a vector is a vector. ... Those quantities possess both magnitude and direction in space.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Momentum is a vector quantity. For a particle with mass, the momentum equals mass times velocity, and velocity is a vector quantity while mass is a scalar quantity. A scalar multiplied by a vector is a vector. A moving body would be a particle with a mass. If the body moves through space, relative to an observer, it will have a velocity, momentum, and kinetic energy. It's velocity and momentum are vector quantities. Those quantities possess both magnitude and direction in space.
