  • Momentum Change When Mass Doubles (Constant Velocity)
    The momentum of an object is given by the following equation:

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

    If the mass is doubled while the velocity remains the same, the momentum will also double.

    Here's why:

    * Original momentum: p = m * v

    * New momentum: p' = (2m) * v = 2(m * v)

    Therefore, the new momentum (p') is twice the original momentum (p).
