Homework Statement


A car possesses 25,876 units of momentum. What would the car's new momentum be if the velocity is doubled?


Homework Equations


momentum = mass x velocity


The Attempt at a Solution


momentum = mass x velocity
25,876 = m x v
51,752 = m x 2v

The new car's momentum would be 51,752 units.

Am I right?
