Let's look at the equation for momentum (p)

[tex]p=mv[/tex]

Where p is the momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity.

If an object doubles in mass then we have 2m and so:

[tex]p=(2m)v\\p=2mv\\\\p=2(mv)[/tex]

If it doubles in mass, then the momentum is also doubled.

Brainliest will be much appreciated!
