A tiger is running in a straight line. If we double both the mass and speed of the tiger, the magnitude of its momentum will increase by what factor?

Answer:

4

Explanation:

m = Mass of tiger

v = Speed of tiger

When we multiply mass and velocity of an object we get momentum

It is given by

[tex]p=mv[/tex]

Now new momentum will be

[tex]p_n=2m\times 2v\\\Rightarrow p_n=4mv[/tex]

Dividing the two equations we get

[tex]\dfrac{p_n}{p}=\dfrac{4mv}{mv}\\\Rightarrow p_n=4p[/tex]

So, the momentum will increase by a factor of 4
