Question

What is the momentum of a 200 kg truck travelling at 20 m/s?

Answer 1

Answer:

p = 4000 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 200 kg

Speed of the truck, v = 20 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the truck. The formula for momentum is given by :

p = mv

so,

$p=200\times 20\\\\p=4000\ kg-m/s$

So, the momentum of the truck is equal to 4000 kg-m/s.
