Question

Mass of a moving body is doubled and velocity is halved. What will be the change in its momentum?

Answer 1

Explanation:

hope this answer helps you

Answer 2

No change in momentum

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity. In laymen terms, it is the strength or force that a moving object has which causes it to move faster or stronger as time passes.

momentum = mass * velocity

p = mv

So when mass is doubled, it becomes 2m and when velocity is halved, we get v/2

Substituting the same in the formula, we get p = 2m * v/2 = mv. There is no change in momentum.

Momentum remains the same when mass of a product is doubled and its velocity is halved.
