Question

What is the momentum of a dog of mass 14 kg that is running east with a speed of 8 m/s

Answer 1

P=mv so it's 112kg m/s, pointing east. (Its a vector so it has to have a direction)

Answer 2

Answer : The momentum of a dog is, 112 kg.m/s

Explanation :

Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.

Formula of momentum is:

`p=mv`

where,

p = momentum

m = mass = 14 kg

v = velocity = 8 m/s

`p=14kg* (8m/s)=112kg.m/s`

Therefore, the momentum of a dog is, 112 kg.m/s
