Question

If the car ha a mass of 1000 kilograms, what is its momentum (v=35m/s)

Answer 1

Answer:

The momentum of the car is 35,000 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum

Momentum is often defined as mass in motion.

Since all objects have mass, if it's moving, then it has momentum. It can be calculated as the product of the mass by the velocity of the object:

$\vec p = m\vec v$

If only magnitudes are considered:

p = mv

The car has a mass of m=1,000 kg and travels at v=35 m/s. Calculating its momentum:

p = 1,000 kg * 35 m/s

p = 35,000 kg.m/s

The momentum of the car is 35,000 kg.m/s
