Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?
\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\) |
|
\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\) |
|
none of these |
|
\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\) |
Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop and is calculated by multiplying the object's mass by its velocity: \(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\). Like velocity, momentum is a vector quantity as it expresses force applied in a specific direction.
