Question

Which of the following is the correct description of momentum?

the product of mass and acceleration
the product of mass and velocity
velocity divided by mass
acceleration divided by mass

Answer 1

the product of mass and velocity

Answer 2

The correct ‘description of momentum’ is the product of mass and velocity.

Explanation:

• Momentum can be stated as the ‘mass in the motion’. All of the objects have a mass. Thus if an object tries to move, then it possess momentum.

• This amount of momentum in an object can have two types of variables. It can define how an ‘object is moving’ and how fast it is moving. It completely depends upon the velocity and mass.  

• The equation of the momentum can be represented as below,

           $\bold{\text { Momentum }(\mathrm{p})=\mathrm{mass}(\mathrm{m}) \times \text { velocity }(\mathrm{v})}$
