Question

A car with two people traveling down the road has a mass of 100 kg and velocity of 5 m/s the car pulls over and picks up two peoplethe mass of the car is now 150 kg what is the momentum if the velocity stays the same?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$750kg. \dfrac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as mass in motion and it can be calculated by getting the product of mass and velocity.

P = mv

where:

P = Momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

$P = mv$

$=(150kg)(5\frac{m}{s})$

$750kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$

So the answer is $750kg.\dfrac{m}{s}$
