Question

The momentum of object depends on: i. Mass of the object ii. Velocity of the object iii. Distance of the object iv. Shape of the object. Choose the correct option: (a) (i) and (ii) (b) only (i) (c) only (ii) (d) (iii) and (iv)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Momentum depends upon thevariables mass and velocity. In terms of an equation, the momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object times the velocity of the object.

Answer 2

(a) (i) and (ii) is correct regarding momentum.

1. Momentum is defined as force within an object when it is moving. As it has both magnitude and direction, hence it is a vector quantity.
2. It is also the product of mass and velocity of object, hence, it depends on the mentioned two variables.
3. Mathematical expression of momentum is : p = m*v. In the expression, p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity.
