Question

While skiing, Sam flies down a hill and hits a jump. He has a mass of 75 kg, and he leaves the jump at 18 m/s. What is his momentum as he leaves the jump?

i dont understand plz show work

Answer 1

1350 kg m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by:

`p=mv`

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

Sam has a mass of

m = 75 kg

and a velocity of

v = 18 m/s

Substituting into the equation, we find his momentum:

`p=(75)(18)=1350 kg m/s`
