Question

Find the momentum (in kg m/s) for a 1.6 kg brick parachuting straight downward at a constant speed of 9.9 m/s.

Answer 1

The momentum of the brick is 15.84 Kg m/s.

We have a 1.6 kg brick parachuting straight downward.

We have to determine its Momentum.

What is Linear Momentum ?

The linear momentum of a body of mass M moving with velocity v is -

p = mv.

According to the question -

Mass = 1.6 Kg

Velocity = 9.9 m/s

Therefore -

p = 1.6 x 9.9 = 15.84 Kg m/s

Hence, the momentum of the brick is 15.84 Kg m/s.
