Question

A 1.5 kg ball is thrown at 10 m/s. What is the ball's momentum?

Answer 1

15 kg m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

`p = mv \: = 1.5 * 10 = 15 \: kgm {s}^( - 1)`

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf 15 \ kg*m/s}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

`p=m*v`

The mass of the ball is 1.5 kilograms and the velocity is 10 meters per second.

`m= 1.5 \ kg \\v= 10 \ m/s`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`p= 1.5 \ kg* 10 \ m/s`

Multiply.

`p=15 \ kg*m/s`

The momentum of the ball is 15 kilogram meters per second.
