Question

Which of the following fundamental quantities are included in the derived quantity, momentum?

• A. Length
• B. Mass
• C. Time
• D. Temperature

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A Length
B Mass
C Time

Momentum of a body is defined as the product of the body's mass and velocity.

$\Rightarrow$Momentum = Mass $\times$ Velocity

Velocity of a body is the change of displacement of the body with time.


$\Rightarrow$Velocity = $\frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Time taken}}$

Displacement is a measure of length.

Therefore, length, mass and time are the fundamental quantities included in the derived quantity, momentum.
