A car has a momentum of 20,000 kg • m/s. What would the car’s momentum be if its velocity doubles? 10,000 kg • m/s 20,000 kg • m/s 40,000 kg • m/s 80,000 kg • m/s

40000kg•m/s

Explanation:

momentum=20000kg•m/s

Since they velocity is doubled

Momentum would also be doubled, therefore momentum would be 40000kg•m/s

it has to be b, about 97 percent.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
