Which of these physical quantities varies as an object changes its velocity? A. pressure B. mass C. weight D. momentum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait.. how?? :O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are not talking about relativistic change now are you?!?! this isn't einstien's theory of relativity right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The faster you move, the heavier you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he is not talking about relativity dude :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, my bad sry :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my review is over impulse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

besides if relativity was included you could say mass too :D.. cause its really mass that changs.. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok israel.. never mind us.. you tell me which physical quantity do you think changes???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was actually thinking it was momentum, but i have no idea.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you were thinking right.. can you tell me why though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i thought that momentum is where it stay at rest but its moving so it keeps on losing its momentum!? is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noo :O. what is momentum??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct.. so you see.. momentum = mass times velocity.. so now as the velocity increases what happens to momentum?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it rises/increases :) thanks
