Question

A spaceship has a momentum of 45,000 kg-m/s to the right, and a mass of 200 kg. What is the magnitude of its velocity?

Answer 1

The answer is apex is 225 m/s

Answer 2

v = 225 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The momentum of the spaceship, p = mv = 45,000 Kg m/s

The mass of the spaceship, m = 200 Kg

The velocity of the spaceship, v = ?

The relationship between the momentum, mass, and velocity is given by the formula

p = mv Kg m/s

Therefore,

v = p/m m/s

Substituting the values in the above equation

v = 45,000 Kg m/s / 200 Kg

= 225 m/s

Hence, the magnitude of velocity of the spaceship is, v = 225 m/s
