Which of the following will change the momentum of a moving object?
Select all that apply.

a change in mass
a change in volume
a change in velocity
a change in acceleration

Respuesta :

All correct except last option because instantaneous change in acceleration does not change the velocity.

Answer: The change in both mass and velocity will change the momentum of a moving object

Explanation:

Momentum of an object is defined as quantity of a motion an object has. It mathematically calculated as product of mass and velocity of the object. Measured in kilogram meter per second(kg m/s).

[tex]Momentum(p)=Mass(m)\times velocity(v)[/tex]

From the above equation we can say that the change in both mass and velocity will change the momentum of a moving object.
