Question

What is the momentum of a 1360kg car resting at a stop sign

Answer 1

If a car is resting at stop sign

then we can say speed of car is ZERO

`v = 0`

now we know that momentum is given as

`P = mv`

it is product of mass and velocity

so if the car is resting at the stop sign then its velocity will be zero

here we know that

m = 1360 kg

`P = 1360 * 0`

`P = 0`

so the momentum of car will be ZERO
