A. The momentum of the boat, given the data is 3240 Kg.m/s
B. The new velocity of the boat is 11.93 m/s
<h3>What is momentum? </h3>
Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. It is expressed as
Momentum = mass × velocity
<h3>What is impulse? </h3>
This is defined as the change in momentum of an object.
Impulse = change in momentum
Impulse = final moment – Initial momentum
Imulpse = m(v - u)
<h3>How to determine the momentum</h3>
- Mass = 540 Kg
- velocity = 6 m/s
- Momentum = ?
Momentum = mass × velocity
Momentum = 540 × 6
Momentum = 3240 Kg.m/s
<h3>How to determine the new velocity</h3>
- Mass = 540 Kg
- Initial velocity = 6 m/s
- Impulse = 3200 kg·m/s
- Final velocity =?
Imulpse = m(v - u)
3200 = 540 × (v - 6)
Divide both sides by 540
v - 6 = 3200 / 540
v - 6 = 5.93
Collect like terms
v = 5.93 + 6
v = 11.93 m/s
