Question

Newton used the word mass in motion to represent (a) linear momentum (b) inertia of motion (c) velocity (d) inertia of rest​

Answer 1

Answer:

It's a linear momentum

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Newton used the word mass in motion to represent linear momentum.

• Linear momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Since, velocity represents motion of a body, linear momentum was called 'mass in motion'.
• In the inertia of motion, there is no external force applied.
• Velocity is the measure of the distance travelled with respect to time taken. But the mass isn't involved.
• In case of inertia of rest as well, there is no external force acting on the body.
