Momentum is the product of mass and velocity then momentum and velocity are:
Correct answer: A. Parallel
- A. Parallel
- B. Perpendicular
- C. Antiparallel
- D. Independent
Explanation
Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity (p = mv).1. Since mass is a scalar quantity, the momentum vector (p) will always have the same direction as the velocity vector (v).2. Therefore, momentum and velocity are parallel

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.
