Question

An object of mass 5 kg and velocity 10 m/s has a linear momentum of: (A) 5 kg-m/s, (B) 10 kg-m/s, (C) 50 kg-m/s, (D) 250 kg-m/s^2, (E) none of the above.

Answer 1

Answer:

Linear momentum, p = 50 kg-m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an object, m = 5 kg

Velocity, v = 10 m/s

We need to find the linear momentum of that object. It is given by :

$p=m\times v$

$p=5\ kg\times 10\ m/s$

p = 50 kg-m/s

So, the linear momentum of that object is 50 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
