  • Momentum and Velocity: Understanding the Relationship
    If the velocity is doubled but the mass remains the same, then the momentum will also double.

    Here's why:

    * Momentum is a measure of how much motion an object has. It is calculated by multiplying the object's mass (m) by its velocity (v):

    * Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)

    * If you double the velocity (v), you are essentially doubling the factor that determines the momentum. Since the mass (m) remains constant, the overall momentum (p) will also double.

    In summary: Doubling the velocity while keeping the mass constant leads to a doubling of the object's momentum.
