Eric Baldwin · Answer 1

Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

(Remember that momentum is a vector ... it has a direction.

Its direction is the same as the velocity.)

An increase in either mass or velocity will increase the momentum.

It's pretty hard to increase the mass of a moving object, so I think

the better answer is velocity.
