If the speed of the particle is doubled. Then the value of the momentum also gets doubled.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

The sum of an entity's speed and mass is known as its linear momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum in Newton's laws of motion. It has both a magnitude and a direction, making it a vector quantity. The SI unit of momentum is kg-m / s.

Let m be the mass and v be the velocity of an object. Then the momentum is given as,

P = mv kg-m / s

A particle is moving at a speed less than c / 2. If the speed of the particle is doubled.

P = m(2v)

P = 2mv

If the particle's speed is twice. The momentum's value is then increased by two.

More about the momentum link is given below.
