Question

B. Write an inequality that represents the velocity of an object that has a mass of 30 kg and creates

a momentum of at least 15 kg-m/s.
(Hint: If you solve the momentum equation for velocity, you will get v = p/m)
m = p =

Answer 1

Velocity >= 0.5

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its velocity. The formula for momentum is:

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

To represent the velocity of an object that has a mass of 30 kg and creates a momentum of at least 15 kg-m/s, you can set the momentum equal to the mass multiplied by the velocity and write an inequality:

15 kg-m/s <= Mass * Velocity

15 kg-m/s <= 30 kg * Velocity

0.5 <= Velocity

Answer 2

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by the equation:

p = m * v

Where p is the momentum, m is the mass, and v is the velocity.

To find an inequality that represents the velocity of an object that has a mass of 30 kg and creates a momentum of at least 15 kg-m/s, we can solve the equation for v:

v = p / m

Substituting the given values, we find that:

v = 15 kg-m/s / 30 kg = 0.5 m/s

Therefore, the inequality that represents the velocity of an object that has a mass of 30 kg and creates a momentum of at least 15 kg-m/s is:

v ≥ 0.5 m/s
