An ice skater initially skating at a velocity of 3 m/s speeds up to a velocity of 5 m/s. The momentum
of the skater
A Remains the same
B Increases
C Becomes zero
D Decreases
Momentum is given as [tex]p=mv[/tex]. Since [tex]m[/tex] is maintained, as the velocity decreases, the momentum decreases, and similarly, as the velocity increases, the momentum increases.
