Momentum has the same direction as ______.
a. mass
c. gravity
b. velocity
d. none of the above Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer :

olemakpadu
b. Velocity.


Momentum of a object = Mass * Velocity.

The momentum is a vector quantity and It has the same direction as the velocity.

Answer:

b). Velocity

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of the object

so we will have

[tex]\vec P = m \vec v[/tex]

so here we know that momentum is the simple product of mass and velocity in which mass is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity

so here we can say that direction of momentum is same as the direction of the velocity of object as they both are vectors and they both need magnitude and direction both

so correct answer will be

b). Velocity
