Given the statements:
• 1. momentum is a vector quantity and it depends on mass and velocity
,
• 2. momentum is a scaler quantity and it depends on mass and velocity
Let's choose the correct statement.
Momentum can be defined as the product of mass of a body times the velocity.
The momentum depends on mass and velocity.
Since it depends on mass and velocity, it is a vector quantity.
Vector quantities have magnitude and direction.
The momentum can be used to predict the speed and direction of bodies.
Therefore, we can say momentum is a vector quantity and it depends on mass and velocity.
ANSWER:
1. momentum is a vector quantity and it depends on mass and velocity
