Question

A large truck is moving 22.0 m/s. If it’s momentum is 125,000 kg • m/s, what is the trucks mass

Answer 1

Answer:

p = mv

m = p/v = 125000/22 = 5682 kg

Explanation:

Direct application of the momentum equation

p = mv

where,

p: momentum

m: mass

v: object velocity

steps:

-------

1) check for units consistency (  SI or Imperial)

2) separate the variable you are looking for.

3) DONE! :DD
