The momentum p is related as, p = mv

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum of an object is defined by the two variables;

(i) mass of the object

(ii) velocity at which the object travels.

Hence momentum is the product of the above two variables it is directly proportional to them and it is represented by the unit (kg.m) / s where kg represents the mass of the object, m / s for velocity of the object.
