Question

What is the momentum of an object of mass m, moving with a velocity v?

• A. ${\left(\mathrm{mv}\right)}^2$
• B. ${\mathrm{mv}}^2$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}{\mathrm{mv}}^2$
• D. $\mathrm{mv}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$\mathrm{mv}$

Momentum:

1. Momentum is the quantity of motion that is multiplied by the amount of matter moved and the velocity at which it moves.
2. Because the object is in motion, it is a vector quantity.
3. It is determined by the product of the object's mass and velocity. If neither object is subjected to any external forces, the total momentum of the objects prior to and after the interaction is the same.
4. The momentum of an object of mass m, moving with a velocity v is $\mathrm{p}=\mathrm{mv}$.

Hence, Option(D) is correct.
