Question

A bicycle has a momentum of 36 kg m/s and avelocity of 4 m/s. What is the mass of the bicycle?

Answer 1

Momentum=36kgm/s
velocity=4m/s
mass=?
momentum=mass*velocity
mass=9kg

Answer 2

Answer : The mass of the bicycle is, 9 Kg

Solution : Given,

Momentum of a bicycle = 36 Kg m/s

Velocity of a bicycle = 4 m/s

Momentum : It is defined as the product of the mass of an object and the velocity of an object.

Formula used :

$p=mv$

where,

p = momentum of an object

m = mass of an object

v = velocity of an object

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the mass of the bicycle.

$36\text{ Kg }m/s=mass\times (4m/s)$

$m=9Kg$

Therefore, the mass of the bicycle is, 9 Kg
