Question

A deer with a mass of 146kg is running head on toward you with a speed of 17 m/s. You are going north. Find the momentum of the deer .

Answer 1

Answer : The momentum of the deer is, 2482 kg.m/s

Explanation :

Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.

Formula of momentum is:

$p=mv$

where,  

p = momentum  = ?

m = mass  = 146 kg

v = velocity  = 17 m/s

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

$p=(146kg)\times (17m/s)$

$p=2482kg.m/s$

Therefore, the momentum of the deer is, 2482 kg.m/s

Answer 2

Momentum = Mass * Velocity = 146 * 17 = 2482  kgm/s
