1. Increase its mass: Momentum is directly proportional to mass. This means that if you increase the mass of an object while keeping its velocity constant, its momentum will also increase. Think of a large truck versus a small car traveling at the same speed. The truck will have much higher momentum due to its greater mass.
2. Increase its velocity: Momentum is also directly proportional to velocity. This means that if you increase the velocity of an object while keeping its mass constant, its momentum will also increase. Think of a car speeding up. As its velocity increases, so does its momentum.
Key Formula:
Momentum (p) = Mass (m) x Velocity (v)
