What is the momentum of an object?

Question

(1 point)
the rate of change in the velocity of an object
• the net force acting on the object
the state of motion of an object with mass
• the velocity of 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 as the product of an object's mass and its velocity (p = mv). It reflects both the mass of the object and how fast it is moving, hence it can be related to its state of motion.
