Question

If the velocity of an object doubles and it’s mass triples, the objects momentum increases by how much? A)1.5 times B)2 times C)3 times D)6 times

Answer 1

(D)6 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello !

Because when we see the equation of momentum P=mv, where p=momentum

m=mass of the object&

v=velocity of the object

And, p is directly propositional to both mass and velocity.

Thus, p=mv

• p=3m.2v....giving on the values
• p=6(mv)

Therefore, we can conclude by when the mass is tripled and the velocity is doubled the momentum is increased by 6 units.
