Question

IWhat is the momentum as a 0.05 kg bullet traveling 500 m/s?

Given
Momentum =______
Mass=_______
Velocity =________

Answer 1

Answer: 25 kg m/s

Identify the given information.

m = 0.05 kg

v = 500 m/s

Choose which formula you should use. In this case, you are finding momentum.

p = mv, where p is momentum, m is the mass, and v is velocity.

Substitute and solve.

p = (0.05 kg)(500 m/s)

p = 25 kg m/s
