Momentum

Question 3 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

A car has a momentum of 20,000 kg • m/s. What would the car’s momentum be if its velocity doubles?

Answer
A
10,000 kg • m/s
B
20,000 kg • m/s
C
40,000 kg • m/s
D
80,000 kg • m/s

Explanation

Momentum is mass multiplied by velocity: p = mv. With the car’s mass unchanged, doubling its velocity doubles its momentum, so 20,000 × 2 = 40,000 kg • m/s. The correct choice is 40,000 kg • m/s.
