A 900 kg car speeds up from 30 M/S to 80 m/s how much momentum did the car gain?
1 answer:
The change in momentum of the car is 45,000 kg m/s
Explanation:
The change in momentum of an object is given by:
where
m is the mass of the object
u is its initial velocity
v is its final velocity
For the car in this problem, we have
m = 900 kg
u = 30 m/s
v = 80 m/s
Therefore, the change in momentum is:

Hi there!
We can use the kinematic equation:
vf = Final velocity (? m/s)
vi = initial velocity (0 m/s, dropped from rest)
a = acceleration (due to gravity, 9.8 m/s²)
d = distance (9.8 m)
Simplify the equation to solve for vf:
Substitute in the given values:
