Question

which equation is used to calculate the momentum of an object? (1 point)

m = fa

p = mv

p = m/v

m = f/a

Explanation:

Momentum is a physical quantity. The formula for momentum is \( p = mv \), where \( p \) represents momentum, \( m \) represents mass, and \( v \) represents velocity.

• \( m = Fa \) is not a correct formula in physics. The correct formula related to force \( F \), mass \( m \), and acceleration \( a \) is \( F=ma \).
• \( p = m/v \) is incorrect. As mentioned, \( p = mv \).
• \( m = F/a \) is from Newton's second - law \( F = ma\) (re - arranged), but it is not the formula for momentum.

Answer:

B. \( p = mv \)
