Question

Which of the following will change the momentum of a moving object?

Select all that apply.

a change in mass
a change in volume
a change in velocity
a change in acceleration

Answer 1

All correct except last option because instantaneous change in acceleration does not change the velocity.

Answer 2

Answer: The change in both mass and velocity will change the momentum of a moving object

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum of an object is defined as quantity of a motion an object has. It mathematically calculated as product of mass and velocity of the object. Measured in kilogram meter per second(kg m/s).

`Momentum(p)=Mass(m)* velocity(v)`

From the above equation we can say that the change in both mass and velocity will change the momentum of a moving object.
