Answer

In the momentum formula P = mv, v represents velocity, which is the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time. Velocity is a vector uantity with both magnitude (speed) and direction. It's measured in meters per second (m/s) in SI units. The velocity value directly affects momentum doubling the velocity doubles the momentum.
