Mass m1 has a velocity of 0 m/s and mass m2 has a velocity of 5 m/s; m1>m2. Which one has a larger interior?
Correct answer: D. Not enough information is available
- A. m2
- B. m1
- C. Both m1 and m2
- D. Not enough information is available
Explanation
Interior refers to volume, which cannot be determined by using the masses and velocities of the given objects. Hence, we would need more information, and option D will be marked as the correct option.

About Linear Momentum
Linear momentum is the vector product of mass and velocity, p = mv, and changes when a net external force acts. Work includes impulse as the change in momentum, conservation of momentum in isolated systems, collisions and explosions, and the distinction between elastic, inelastic and perfectly inelastic collisions.
