Question

7) Which change in mass and velocity would increase the momentum of an object by the greatest amount? A) Halving the mass and halving the velocity. B) Doubling the mass and halving the velocity. C) Halving the mass and doubling the velocity. D) Doubling the mass and doubling the velocity.

Answer 1

Half the mass and double the velocity.

Explanation:

Momentum is the relationship between mass and velocity. By reducing the mass, you allow it to be more affected by the velocity, and by doubling the velocity, you allow it to be even more affected. That is, if we are talking proportionally.
