Question

If the mass of a moving object decreases from 100 grams to 25 grams, what happens to its momentum?

It is reduced to 1/4 the original momentum
It is reduced to 1/2 the original momentum
It is not affected by the change in mass
It becomes four times the original momentum
Please help

Answer 1

Answer:it is reduced to 1/4 the original momentum

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass 100gram

Momentum=mass x velocity

Momentum=100 x velocity

Mass 25gram

Momentum=mass x velocity

Momentum=25 x velocity

Therefore the momentum is reduced to 1/4 Of The original momentum
