Physics PYQ 10 of 144 · Units

Which physical quantity is represented by the ratio of momentum and velocity of the body?

  1. AVelocity
  2. BAcceleration
  3. CMass
  4. DForce

45th BPSC

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (c) Mass

Explanation

Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v), so mass = momentum / velocity.

Mass is the measure of inertia; its SI unit is the kilogram (kg).

Velocity and acceleration involve direction/time, and force = mass × acceleration, so they do not fit this ratio.
