Solution
Momentum is a property of a moving body by the virtue of both its mass and velocity. It is equal to the product of
mass and velocity. p = m × v
Its SI unit is kg ms−1
As momentum = mass x velocity
(a) When the mass is fixed,
momentum α velocity
(b) When velocity is constant,
momentum α mass
