Question

Question What is the momentum of an object?(1 point) Responses the velocity of the object the velocity of the object the rate of change in the velocity of an object the rate of change in the velocity of an object the state of motion of an object with mass the state of motion of an object with mass the net force acting on the object

Answer 1

The momentum of an object is best described as **the state of motion of an object with mass**.

Momentum is defined mathematically as the product of an object's mass and its velocity, represented by the equation \( p = mv \), where \( p \) is momentum, \( m \) is mass, and \( v \) is velocity. Thus, it encompasses both the mass of the object and its motion (velocity).
