Question

The diagram shows the momentum of an object and the net force acting on it at some instant in time. After a short amount of time, which of the following statements is true about the magnitude of the momentum? (You may assume that if there is any change in momentum in this situation, the time interval is short enough such that the magnitude of that change in momentum is small compared to the original momentum.) The magnitude of the momentum will stay the same. The magnitude of the momentum will decrease. The magnitude of the momentum will increase. After a short amount of time, which of the following statements is true about the direction of the momentum? The direction of the momentum will be the same. The momentum will be in the opposite direction. The momentum will be in a different direction that is not parallel to the original direction.

Explanation / Answer

1) magnitude of momentum will decrease 2)direction of momentum will be same
