Question

You are driving to Florida in a 2500 kg car traveling at 35 m/s. What is your momentum?

Answer 1

`P=87500\text{ kg}\cdot(m)/(s)`

Step-by-step explanation

The momentum of a particle is conventionally represented by the letter p

`P=m\cdot v`

where mass (m) and velocity (v)

then

Step 1

let

`\begin{gathered} \text{mass}=2500\text{ kg} \\ \text{velocity}=35\text{ }(m)/(s) \end{gathered}`

now, replace in the formula

`\begin{gathered} P=m\cdot v \\ P=\text{ 2500 Kg }\cdot35\text{ }(m)/(s) \\ P=87500\text{ kg}\cdot(m)/(s) \end{gathered}`

therefore, the momentum is

`87500\text{ kg}\cdot(m)/(s)`

I hope this helps you
