Question

What is the momentum of a 40-kg object traveling at 33 m/s?

Answer 1

• Mass=m=40kg
• Velocity=v=33m/s

`\\ \tt\longmapsto Momentum=mv`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto Momentum=(40)(33)`

`\\ \tt\longmapsto Momentum=1320kgm/s`

Answer 2

`\large{\purple{\underline{\underline{\sf{\pink{ANSWER-}}}}}}`

Let us classify the given data first,

• Mass (m) = 40kg

• Velocity (v) = 33m/s

• Momentum (m) = ?

The standard way for calculating momentum of a body is given by,

`\Rrightarrow\tt{Momentum = mass * velocity}`

`\Rrightarrow\tt{Momentum = m * v}`

`\Rrightarrow\tt{Momentum = 40 * 33}`

`\Rrightarrow\tt{Momentum = 1320 kgm/s}`

• Thus, the momentum acted on the body is about 1320 kgm/s

1) MOMENTUM (P) -

• Momentum is simply called as the product of mass and velocity i.e (P = mv) It is a vector quantity having both it's magnitude and direction. It is measured in kgm/s.

2) MASS (M) -

• Mass is a fundamental quantity which is meant the total weight the body carries. It is scalar quantity having magnitude but not direction. It is measured in Kg.

3) VELOCITY (V) -

• Velocity is also defined as speed in simple language which is caused to Acceleration of body. It is a vector quantity having both magnitude as well as direction. It is measured in m/s.
