Question

An ice skater initially skating at a velocity of 3 m/s speeds up to a velocity of 5 m/s. The momentum

of the skater
A Remains the same
B Increases
C Becomes zero
D Decreases

Answer 1

B. Increases

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum is given as
`p=mv`. Since
`m` is maintained, as the velocity decreases, the momentum decreases, and similarly, as the velocity increases, the momentum increases.
