Momentum is a measure of how difficult it is for a moving object to stop. Which of the following is the formula for momentum?

61% Answer Correctly

\(\vec{p} = {m \over \vec{v}}\)

\(\vec{p} = { \vec{v} \over m}\)

none of these

\(\vec{p} = m\vec{v}\)


Solution

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.
