Question

A cannon fires a shell toward a target with a momentum of 6750 kg m/s. This shell moves with a velocity of 150 m/s. Calculate

Answer 1

Answer:

45 kg

Explanation:

The mass of the shell can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{p}{v}$

p is the momentum

v is the velocity

From the question we have

$m = \frac{6750}{150} = \frac{675}{15}$

We have the final answer as

45 kg

Hope this helps you
