Answer

B

Momentum

The correct answer is B. Momentum.

Momentum is defined as the product of an object's mass and its velocity. Since velocity is a vector quantity (having both magnitude and direction), momentum is also a vector quantity.

p⃗=mv⃗\vec{p} = m\vec{v}

In contrast:

  • Kinetic energy (KE) is a scalar quantity, representing the energy of motion.
  • Speed is a scalar quantity, representing the magnitude of velocity.
  • Work is a scalar quantity, representing the energy transferred by a force.
