Answer:
Momentum is [tex]5000\ Kg\ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
Given the mass of car [tex]1500\ kg[/tex]. And it travels [tex]400\ m[/tex] in [tex]12\ s[/tex].
We need to find its momentum.
We know the momentum is the product of velocity and mass. And is denoted by [tex]P[/tex]
So, [tex]P=m\times v[/tex]
We need to find the velocity of object. Then we will plug that into the equation.
And velocity is distance traveled divide by time elapsed.
[tex]v=\frac{d}{t}\\v=\frac{400}{12}\\v=33.33\ m/s[/tex]
Now,
[tex]P=m\times v\\P=150\times 33.33\\P=5000\ Kg\ m/s[/tex]
