1. QuestionMultiple choice

What is linear momentum?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is p⃗=mv⃗\vec p=m\vec v.

  1. Identify the physics model: Determine whether the problem concerns motion, force, energy, momentum, waves, electricity, magnetism, or experimental data.
  2. Apply the relationship: Momentum is mass multiplied by velocity, so it is a vector and has the same direction as velocity.
  3. Check units and direction: The correct answer is p⃗=mv⃗\vec p=m\vec v.

Momentum is mass multiplied by velocity, so it is a vector and has the same direction as velocity.
