Question

a fully loaded 747-700 weighs 735,000 pounds (334,00 kg) and it lands heading south on the runway at (82.25m/s). calculate the momentum that a 747-700 has when landing.p=m=v=

Answer 1

The momentum is given by the product of the mass and the velocity of the object:

$p=mv$

If the mass is m = 334 kg and the velocity is v = 82.25 m/s, the momentum is:

$\begin{gathered} p=334\cdot82.25 \\ p=27471.5\text{ kg}\cdot\text{m/s} \end{gathered}$
