Question

Momentum Is Scalar Or Vector Quantity

Answer 1

Answer:

Momentum is a vector quantity

Explanation:

Momentum is a vector quantity as it is the product of two vectors (mass and velocity)

Also,

If the direction of a moving body changes to its opposite it's momentum becomes negative

For example- If you throw a ball towards a wall and it hits the wall and bounces back, and you consider the direction towards wall to be +ve then -

• while going towards the wall, the ball will have +ve momentum
• and -ve while coming back
