Question

As a bullet travels through the air, it slows down due to air resistance. How does the bullet’s momentum change as a result?

  1. Bullets momentum decreases    
  2. Bullets momentum increases    
  3. Bullet’s momentum stays the same    
  4. Cannot say    

Hint:

Momentum =m a s s cross times v e l o c i t y

The correct answer is: Bullets momentum decreases


    Momentum =m a s s cross times v e l o c i t y
    The bullet's momentum decreases as its speed decreases.
