Question

An object traveling at a 5.0 m/s east has a mass of 4.0 kg. what is the magnitude of the object’s momentum?

Answer 1

mass = 4.0 kg
velocity= 5.0 m/s

momentum= mass × velocity= 4.0 × 5.0 = 20.0 kg m/s

Answer 2

Object's momentum, p = 20 kg-m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the object, m = 4 kg

Velocity of the object, v = 5 m/s

We need to find the object's momentum. It is given by ;

p = m × v

`p=4\ kg* 5\ m/s`

p = 20 kg-m/s

So, the momentum of the object is 20 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
