The momentum of the car is:
P = 30,800 kg.m/s (eastward)
How to get the momentum?
To calculate the momentum of a 1400 kg car moving at 22 m/s to the east, we use the formula:
Momentum (p) = mass (m) x velocity (v)
Here, we know:
- Mass (m) = 1400 kg
- Velocity (v) = 22 m/s (eastward, so positive)
Substituting these values into the formula:
P = 1400 kg * 22 m/s = 30,800 kg m/s (eastward)
