Increasing the mass of an object increases its momentum.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Momentum of an object is measured as the quantity of motion done by the object.
  • It is calculated using the formula, p = m × v where m is mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.
  • As momentum and mass vary proportionally, as seen in the formula, increasing the mass of an object will also increase its momentum.
