Question

A truck driving along a highway road has a large quantity of momentum. If it moves at the same speed but has twice as much mass, what will happen to its momentum? a. zero.b. quadrupled.c. doubled.d. unchanged.

Answer 1

option (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum is defined as the product of mass of the object and the velocity of the object.

p = m x v

where, m is the mass of the object and v be the velocity

As the mass is doubled, so that the momentum is also doubled.

Answer 2

Answer:C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Truck is moving with a large momentum let say P

P is the product of mass and velocity such that if m is the mass and v is the velocity then P is given by

`P=m* v`

if mass is doubled while v remain same, New momentum is given by

`P'=2m* v`

`P'=2mv`

Momentum gets doubled
