Question

What is the momentum of a 5 kg object that has a velocity of 1.2 m/s ?

3.8 kg • m/s
4.2 kg • m/s
6.0 kg • m/s
6.2 kg • m/s

Answer 1

C: 6.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The momentum, p = 6 kg • m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 5 Kg

Velocity of the object, v = 1.2 m/s

The momentum of the body is defined as the product of the mass and velocity of the body. It is denoted by the letter 'p'

p = mv

Substituting the values in the above equation

p = 5 Kg x 1.2 m/s

= 6 kg • m/s

Hence, the momentum of the object is p = 6 kg • m/s
