Momentum — Quiz

Question 9 • Physical Science

A car has a momentum of 20 comma 000 kilograms times m over s What would the car’s momentum be if its velocity doubles?

Answer
A
20 comma 000 kilograms times m over s
B
10 comma 000 kilograms times m over s
C
40 comma 000 kilograms times m over s
D
80 comma 000 kilograms times m over s

Explanation

Momentum is mass times velocity, so if the car’s mass stays the same and its velocity doubles, its momentum doubles too. Double 20,000 kg·m/s to get 40,000 kg·m/s. The correct choice is 40,000 kilograms times m over s.
