an object has more momentum if it has which of the following? A. a large mass and low velocity B. a high velocity and small mass C. a high velocity and large mass D. a low velocity and small mass

Respuesta :

I believe it's c. A high velocity and large mass

Momentum of any object is defined by following formula

[tex]P = m* v[/tex]

here

m = mass of object

v = velocity of object

now we know that since momentum is product of mass and velocity

So in order to have more momentum we need the value of this product to be more.

So this product will me large is both the physical quantity will be more in magnitude

so the correct answer will be

C. a high velocity and large mass

So if mass is large and velocity will be more then the product of them will be large and hence the momentum of object will be more
