A.
A light ball moving slowly

B.
A heavy ball moving slowly

C.
A light ball moving quickly

D.
A heavy ball moving quickly

Respuesta :

I think it should be D as momentum is the product of mass and velocity...

A heavy ball moving quickly will have the most momentum

The right option is  D. A heavy ball moving quickly.

What is momentum?

This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and its velocity.

The S.I unit of momentum is kgm/s.

The formula of momentum is

  • M = mv.............. Equation 1

Where:

  • M = Momentum of the ball
  • m = mass of the ball
  • v = velocity of the ball.

From the formula above, it can be seen that momentum is directly proportional to

  • The mass of the ball
  • The velocity of the ball.

Therefore, A heavy ball moving quickly will have the most momentum

Hence, the right option is  D. A heavy ball moving quickly.
