What is the momentum of an object of mass m, moving with a velocity v? (a) (mv)२ (b) mv२ (c) ½ mv२ (d) mv
(d) is correct If the object has mass and it is moving some velocity then it always have momentum, so momentum simply defined as mass in motion. It also term as product of mass and velocity, Momentum, p = mv (a) is incorrect In this option square of momentum is there so it is incorrect answer. (b) is incorrect In this option square of velocity is given so it is not correct option. (c) is incorrect This is formula of kinetic energy, so it is not a correct option. (d) is correct If the object has mass and it is moving some velocity then it always have momentum, so momentum simply defined as mass in motion. It also term as product of mass and velocity, Momentum, p = mv
