Question

What is the momentum of a 1400 kg car traveling at 25 m/s?

Answer 1

Answer:

The momentum will be 35000 kgm/s

Explanation:

In Newtonian mechanics, momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction in three-dimensional space.

Mathematically it is written as

P = m*v

Since we have

m = 1400kg

v = 25m/s

So Momentum is

P = 1400 * 25 = 35000 kgm/s

Answer 2

Hello

The answer is:

$35000Kg.\frac{m}{s}=35000N$

Why?

Momentum is the quantity of movement of an object, and it's calculated using the mass and the velocity of the object. Momentum is expressed by the following formula:

$p=m*v$

Where:

$m=mass\\v=velocity$

So, calculating we have:

$p=m*v=1400Kg*\frac{25m}{s}=35000Kg.\frac{m}{s}=35000N$

Remember,

$1N=1Kg.\frac{m}{s}$

Have a nice day!
