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 the velocity of a body.
Statement 4: An unbalanced force can create a change in the velocity of a body.
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 x V; P- momentum; M- mass; V- velocity
Momentum is a vector quantity it has both direction and magnitude.
The SI unit of momentum 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 change by the application of unbalanced force.
A balanced force cannot bring a change in the motion, thus balanced force cannot change momentum.
