Answer:
<em> The momentum of the airplane = 604452 kgm/s</em>
Explanation:
Momentum: This can be defined as the product of mass and velocity. The S.I unit of momentum is kgm/s.
Mathematically it is expressed as
M = mv ................................. Equation 1
Where, M = momentum of the air plane, m = mass of the airplane, v = velocity of the air plane.
<em>Given: m = 3400 kg, v = 400 miles per hour</em>
<em>Conversion: 400(1600/3600) m/s = 177.78 m/s.</em>
<em>Substituting into equation 1</em>
<em>M = 3400(177.78)</em>
<em>M = 604452 kgm/s.</em>
<em>Thus the momentum of the airplane = 604452 kgm/s</em>
