Which of the following is true regarding momentum?


The velocity of an object has no effect on its momentum.


Increasing the mass of an object increases its momentum.


The mass of an object has no effect on its momentum.


Respuesta :

Increasing the mass of an object increases its momentum.

Explanation:

  • Momentum of an object is measured as the quantity of motion done by the object.
  • It is calculated using the formula, p = m × v where m is mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.
  • As momentum and mass vary proportionally, as seen in the formula, increasing the mass of an object will also increase its momentum.
