Question

What determines an object’s momentum?

Answer 1

Answer:

Momentum can be calculated by multiplying the mass of an object by its forward velocity. ( mv = kg*m/s) Mass and velocity are both directly proportional to the momentum. If you increase either mass or velocity, the momentum of the object increases proportionally.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mass and velocity

Explanation:

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

This means that momentum is directly proportional to the mass of the object and its velocity.

Thus if the mass of the body increases, the momentum increases. And if velocity increases, momentum increases.

Note: The mass of the same object doesn't change as the matter in a body doesn't change. Therefore for a specified object, the momentum only increases with increase in velocity.

Hope this answer helps you.
