Question

A deer with a mass of 146kg is running head on toward you with a speed of 17 m/s. You are going north. Find the momentum of the deer .

Answer 1

Momentum = Mass * Velocity = 146 * 17 = 2482 kgm/s

Answer 2

Answer : The momentum of the deer is, 2482 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 = 146 kg

v = velocity = 17 m/s

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

`p=(146kg)* (17m/s)`

`p=2482kg.m/s`

Therefore, the momentum of the deer is, 2482 kg.m/s
