Question

multiple choice 1 point
what is the correct definition of momentum, ( p = )
( \text{mv}^2 )
ma
( \text{mc}^2 )
mv

Explanation:

Momentum is a physical quantity in physics. The formula for momentum is \( p = mv \), where \( m \) is the mass of an object and \( v \) is its velocity. \( mv^{2} \) is related to kinetic energy (\( K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \)), \( ma \) is force (\( F = ma \) from Newton's second law), and \( mc^{2} \) is related to mass - energy equivalence (\( E=mc^{2} \)).

Answer:

\( mv \) (the fourth option)
