Question

which statement about two objects having the same momentum is true?
o they both have the same mass.
o they both have the same velocity.
o mass and velocity are the same for both.
o the product of mass × velocity is the same for both.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall momentum formula

Momentum \(p = m\times v\), where \(m\) is mass and \(v\) is velocity.

Step2: Analyze same - momentum condition

If two objects have the same momentum \(p_1=p_2\), then \(m_1v_1 = m_2v_2\). This means the product of mass and velocity is the same for both. It is not necessary for mass or velocity to be the same individually.

Answer:

The product of mass × velocity is the same for both.
