Select the correct answer.

Which statement explains the similarity between the momentum and kinetic energy of an object?

A. Both are inversely proportional to the mass and velocity of the object.
B. Both increase as the mass and velocity increase.
C. Both decrease as the mass and velocity increase.
D. Both are directly proportional to the mass and inversely proportional to the velocity of the object.
E. Both are inversely proportional to the mass and directly proportional to the velocity of the object.

Final answer:

Momentum and kinetic energy are related differently to mass and velocity but are not directly proportional to each other.


Explanation:

Momentum and kinetic energy of an object are related but not the same. Momentum is directly proportional to the object's mass and velocity, while kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity and is not directly related to mass. Therefore, statement C is correct, as both momentum and kinetic energy behave differently in relation to mass and velocity.
