Question
The diagram shows the momentum of an object and the net force acting on it at some instant in time. (You may assume the force is constant.) Some measurable amount of time elapses. After this time, which of the following statements is true about the magnitude of the momentum? The magnitude of the momentum will decrease. The magnitude of the momentum will stay the same. The magnitude of the momentum will increase. After this short amount of time, which of the following statements is true about the direction of the momentum? The momentum will be in a different direction that is not parallel to the original direction. The momentum will be in the opposite direction. The direction of the momentum will be the same.Explanation / Answer
magnitude of mementum will increase, because force will accelerate the object in its direction, hence increase its velocity. thus momentum p=m*v increases. direction of momentum will be different that is not parallel to the orizinal direction because, object will get momentum in both direction. thus its resultant will be in different direction.
