Question

A car weighing 15,000 n is speeding down the highway at 90 km/h. what is its momentum?

Answer 1

The momentum of the car:

p = m*V

m = F/g = 15 000 / 10 = 1 500 kg
V = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

p = 1 500 * 25 = 37 500 kg*m/s

Answer 2

Okay. So the formula for this kind of question is p = mv, where p means momentum. So in this case, the mass is the weight and the velocity is the speed. Let’s multiply the numbers. 15,000 * 90 = 1,350,000. The car possesses 1,350,000 units of momentum.
