Question

If the velocity of a moving object doubles, what happens to its momentum?

Answer 1

momentum is the product of mass and velocity


example let velocity of body A = 4 m/s and mass be m


1) initial momentum(p) = 4m


2) velocity double --- ( multiply be 2)
so new velocity = (4*2) = 8 m/s\


so final momentum(p) = 8m


CONCLUSION :

make as if mass of object which is m has a numerical value (take 1 N for instance)

Therefore initial p = 4 and final p = 8 (for mass=1N)

it is valid saying that " FOR AN OBJECT OF CONSTANT MASS, MOMENT TUM DOUBLE WITH DOUBLING VELOCITY"

hope it was clear enough :)

Answer 2

it doubles
Momentum= mass * velocity
when velocity doubles
momentum= 2*(velocity* mass)
