Want this question answered?
Momentum is the product of mass times velocity. With less velocity, there will be less momentum. (An object's mass will usually not change.)
An object that decreases its speed also decreases the magnitude of its velocity and decreases the magnitude of its momentum. Momentum is mass time velocity. Less velocity, less momentum. Technically, velocity is a vector and therefor momentum is a vector. One can speak of smaller or larger magnitudes of a vector, but not smaller and larger vectors because vectors have magnitude and direction. Speed is the magnitude of velocity.

As the velocity decreases, the momentum increases. Mass is the matter inside of something and momentum is how hard it is to stop something. Therefore momentum needs mass to function because without mass there would be no momentum. So think of the sentence above like this: velocity ( a measure of momentum) decreases, the momentum (including mass inside an object) goes up therefore making the mass increase while the velocity decreases.

Less mass means less momentum. Momentum also depends on the velocity.
That is true because momentum is mass times velocity
Momentum = mass x velocity. Here velocity is constant. So momentum is directly proportional to the mass. Hence as mass decreases momentum too decreases proportionaly. If mass is reduced to half of its original then momentum also gets reduced to half of its original
That's the object's linear momentum.
mass x velocity = momentum. (velocity = speed with a direction)
