Question

4. Calculate the momentum for each scenario:
a. .02 kg mass moving at 300 m/s
b. 2 kg mass moving at 40 m/s
c. 200 kg mass moving at 4 m/s

Answer 1

a) Answer:

Momentum = 6 kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum = mass × velocity

Given that,

• mass = 0.02 kg
• velocity = 300 m/s

Therefore, momentum = (0.02 × 300)kgm/s

Momentum = 6 kgm/s

b) Answer:

Momentum =80 kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum = mass × velocity

Given that,

• mass = 2 kg
• velocity = 40 m/s

Therefore, momentum = (40 × 2)kgm/s

Momentum = 80 kgm/s

c) Answer:

Momentum = 800 kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum = mass × velocity

Given that,

• mass = 200 kg
• velocity = 4 m/s

Therefore, momentum = (200 × 4)kgm/s

Momentum =800 kgm/s
