Q:
Is mass is directly proportional to momentum?
A:
Yes, mass is directionally proportional to momentum. That is because the equation for momentum is mass times velocity. This can also be written as p = m*v where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity. Therefore, if mass is doubled and velocity stays the same, then momentum is also doubled.
