Question1. Which property of the quantity of motion affect(s) an object's impact when interacting with another object? A. mass B. velocity C. both mass and velocity D. none of the above
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. The "quantity of motion" refers to the concept of momentum in physics.
2. Momentum is a vector quantity that depends on both mass and velocity.
3. We are determining which property affects an object's impact during interaction.
STEP 2
1. Define the concept of momentum.
2. Identify the properties that contribute to momentum.
3. Determine the properties that affect an object's impact during interaction.
STEP 3
Momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity. It is given by the formula: where is momentum, is mass, and is velocity.
STEP 4
From the definition of momentum, both mass and velocity are the contributing factors to the quantity of motion.
STEP 5
Since momentum affects an object's impact during interaction and is determined by both mass and velocity, both properties affect the impact.
The answer is:
