Question

The Momentum is *

a) mass x volume.

b) mass/volume.

c) mass / velocity.

d) mass x velocity

​

Answer 1

The correct option is d.mass×velocity

Some extra information:-

•Momentum is defined as quantity of motion contained in a body.

•Momentum is denoted by p.

•Quantitatively,momentum is the product of of mass and velocity of a body.

Thus, p=m×v

•The S.I. unit of momentum is kg m/s.

•It has a sense of direction.Thus,it is a vector quantity.

•The direction of momentum of a body is same as the velocity of the body at that instant
