Question

A 1650 kg car is going a street at 42 m/s east. What is the momentum of the car

Answer 1

Formula for momentum:

`p=mv`

momentum(measured in kg*m/s) = mass(measured in kg) * velocity(measured in m/s)

Given:

`m=1650kg`

`v=42m/s`

`p=?`

__________________________________________________________

Finding momentum:

`p=mv`

`p=1650*42`

Answer:

`\fbox{p = 69,300 kg*m/s}`
