well if you compare them together they are quite different velocity has a poo in your mouth and momentum like to wee on your dog in the morning, okayy!

The momentum of an objects is in the same what as its velocity?
In the same direction. Both momentum and velocity are vectors.
Why does momentum have a direction?
Because momentum is mass X velocity. Velocity has direction, otherwise it is speed.
Is momentum downwards?
Momentum is a vector, the product of a scalar (mass) & a vector (velocity). As such, its direction is whatever direction the velocity vector has.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity and you want to change it's momentum you would change it's?
The answer is velocity.
How would momentum be considered a vector?
momentum is mass x velocity and velocity is a vector and mass is scalar but scalar times vector = vector so momentum remains a vector
Does momentum have a direction?
Momentum is mass x velocity; velocity has a direction, therefore momentum has a direction.Momentum is mass x velocity; velocity has a direction, therefore momentum has a direction.Momentum is mass x velocity; velocity has a direction, therefore momentum has a direction.Momentum is mass x velocity; velocity has a direction, therefore momentum has a direction.

In the same direction. Both momentum and velocity are vectors.
Why does momentum have a direction?
Because momentum is mass X velocity. Velocity has direction, otherwise it is speed.
Is momentum inversely proportional to velocity?
No, momentum is directly proportional to velocity, and in the same direction..
Is momentum downwards?
Momentum is a vector, the product of a scalar (mass) & a vector (velocity). As such, its direction is whatever direction the velocity vector has.
If an object is moving at a constant velocity and you want to change it's momentum you would change it's?
The answer is velocity.
What is an object's mass multiplied by its velocity?
mass x velocity = momentum. (velocity = speed with a direction)
Momentum has the same direction of what?
Velocity!
Which one has same direction of momentum?
The velocity.
How would momentum be considered a vector?
momentum is mass x velocity and velocity is a vector and mass is scalar but scalar times vector = vector so momentum remains a vector
The momentum of an object is in the same direction as what?
The velocity of the object.
What is momentum in physics?
In physics, momentum = mass x velocityhigher the mass or higher the velocity, higher is the momentum. Note, momentum is a vector quantity i.e it has both magnitude and direction. For instance, when two bodies A of velocity 3m/s and B of velocity 6m/s both of equal masses collide, A moves in the direction of B. Mathematically, the momentum of A is given a negative sign(-) meaning that the momentum of A is in the direction of B
