Answer:
Given :
Momentum of disc = 42 kg m/s
Velocity of disc = 21 m/s
To Find :
Mass of the disc.
Solution :
❖ Momentum is defined as the product of mass and it's velocity..
Mathematically, p = m × v
p denotes momentum
m denotes mass
v denoted velocity
➛ It is a vector quantity having both magnitude as well as direction.
➛ It can be positive, negative or zero.
➛ SI unit : kg m/s or N s
By substituting the given values;
➙ p = m × v
➙ 42 = m × 21
➙ m = 42/21
➙ m = 2 kg
∴ Mass of the object is 2 kg.
Knowledge BoosteR :
As per newton's second law of motion, force is measured as the rate of change of linear momentum.
Formula : F = dp / dt
