Which statement best compares momentum and kinetic energy? a. both momentum and kinetic energy are vector quantities. b. momentum is a vector quantity and kinetic energy is a scalar quantity. c. kinetic energy is a vector quantity and momentum is a scalar quantity. d. both momentum and kinetic energy are scalar quantities.

The answer on the question given is letter B.Momentum is a vector quantity and kinetic energy is a scalar quantity.

B. Momentum is a vector quantity and kinetic energy is a scalar quantity.

Explanation:

A scalar quantity has  just magnitude. A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

P = m v

It is a vector quantity. It depends on magnitude as well as direction.

Energy possessed by a body due to virtue of its motion is known as kinetic energy. It is a scalar quantity.

E = 0.5 mv²

Thus, the correct option is A.

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
