  • Understanding Momentum: Definition and Formula - Physics Explained
    The correct answer is A) mass times its velocity.

    Here's why:

    * Momentum is a measure of how much motion an object has. It's a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (how much) and direction.

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

    Let's look at the other options:

    * B) force time interval: This describes impulse, which is the change in momentum of an object.

    * C) its acceleration: Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. While related, it's not the same as momentum.

    * D) E times? This is not a relevant term in physics.

    In summary, momentum is directly related to an object's mass and its velocity.
