Question

An object whose mass is 3 kg is fired from an artillery cannon, giving it a forward momentum of 1050 kg•m/s . What is its velocity?

Answer 1

Given :-

• Mass of the object is 3kg .
• Its momentum is 1500kg m/s

To Find :-

• Its velocity .

Solution :-

As we know that , the amount of motion contained in a body is called momentum . Mathematically ,

$\sf\twoheadrightarrow Momentum = mass * velocity$

$\sf\twoheadrightarrow 1500kg\ m/s = 3kg * v$

$\sf\twoheadrightarrow v =\dfrac{1500kg\ m/s}{3kg}$

$\sf\twoheadrightarrow \underline{\underline{\blue{ velocity = 500m/s}}}$
