Answer:

The magnitude of the velocity of the car is 24 m/s .

Explanation:

Given : A car's momentum is calculated to be 36000 .

the mass of the car is 1500 kg.

To find: What is the magnitude of the velocity of the car.

Formula used:

Momentum =mass × velocity

Explanation:

We are given that momentum of the car =36000 .

Mass of the car = 1500 kg .

Plugging the given value in the above formula

Momentum =mass × velocity

36000 = 1500 × velocity

On dividing both side by 1500 we get ,

velocity = 24 meter/second

Therefore, The magnitude of the velocity of the car is 24 m/s .
