Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Momentum is ____
A
mass x velocity
B
mass / velocity
C
mass x velocity2
D
velocity / mass
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Momentum (P) is equal to mass (M) times velocity (v). But there are other ways to think about momentum! Force (F) is equal to the change in momentum (P) over the change in time (t). And the change in momentum (P) is also equal to the impulse (J).

Detailed explanation-2: -momentum = mass x velocity. in general, so, since velocity is a vector, momentum is also a vector, pointing in the same direction as the velocity, of course.

Detailed explanation-3: -Momentum is defined as the quantity of motion of the body. It is measured by “mass × velocity”, as momentum depends upon velocity, and it depends on the direction of the motion of the body as well. Momentum is a vector quantity since velocity is a vector while mass is scalar. Momentum = Mass X Velocity. p = mv.

Detailed explanation-4: -The momentum, p of an object refers to the quantity of motion that an object has and it depends on its mass(m) and velocity (v). The mathematical expression for momentum is given as p=m×v.
