The final momentum of the body is equal to 120 Kg.m/s.
<h3>What is momentum?</h3>Momentum can be described as the multiplication of the mass and velocity of an object. Momentum is a vector quantity as it carries magnitude and direction.
If m is an object's mass and v is its velocity then the object's momentum p is: . The S.I. unit of measurement of momentum is kg⋅m/s, which is equivalent to the N.s.
Given the initial momentum of the body = Pi = 20 Kg.m/s
The force acting on the body, Pf = 25 N
The time, Δt = 4-0 = 4s
The Force is equal to the change in momentum: F ×Δt = ΔP
25 × 4 = P - 20
100 = P - 20
P = 100 + 20 = 120 Kg.m/s
Therefore, the final momentum of a body is 120 Kg.m/s.
