Momentum depends upon:
Correct answer: D. both the mass and velocity of the body
- A. force acts on the body
- B. mass of the body
- C. velocity of the body
- D. both the mass and velocity of the body
Explanation
Momentum is dependent on both the mass and velocity of an object. Mathematically, momentum p is calculated as the product of an object's mass m and its velocity v:p = m × v

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
