What happens to the momentum of a body when velocity is doubled keeping the mass unchanged.

Open in App

Solution

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.
Mathematically, it is given by $p = m v$ .
If velocity is doubled, momentum becomes $p = m \times 2 v = 2 m v$ .
Thus, when velocity is doubled, momentum also get doubled.
