What variables are considered when calculating momentum?(1 point)

Question

Responses

initial and final velocity
initial and final velocity

mass and acceleration
mass and acceleration

velocity and net force
velocity and net force

Answer 1

The correct response for calculating momentum is:

initial and final velocity

Momentum is calculated using the formula:

\[ p = m \times v \]

where \( p \) is momentum, \( m \) is mass, and \( v \) is velocity. In this case, both initial and final velocities can be relevant when considering changes in momentum (such as for impulse scenarios), but the fundamental calculation of momentum itself depends on mass and velocity at a given point in time.
