Choose the correct statements regarding the momentum:
Statement 1: Momentum has both direction and magnitude
Statement 2: SI unit of momentum is kg m s-1
Statement 3: A balanced force can create a change in velocity
Statement 4: An unbalanced force can create a change in velocity
Statement 5: A balanced force can create a change in momentum
Statement 6: An unbalanced force can create a change in momentum.
Momentum, p = m × v;
The momentum depends on both direction and magnitude.
The SI unit of p is kg m s-1.
Since an unbalanced force can bring a change in motion i.e. velocity. And since p depends on velocity, p can be changed by the application of unbalanced force.
Balanced forces cannot bring a change in the motion, thus balanced forces cannot change momentum.
