Question

Object has a mass of 900 kg. If its momentum is 18,000 kg-m/s, then how fast is it moving?

20 m/s
B 0.05 m/s
18,900 m/s
16,200,000 m/s

Answer 1

Answer: 20m/s

Explanation:The momentum (p) of an object is given by the product of its mass (m) and velocity (v), i.e., p = mv. We can rearrange this equation to solve for velocity (v), which gives v = p/m.

Substituting the given values, we have:

v = p/m = 18,000 kg-m/s / 900 kg = 20 m/s

Therefore, the object is moving at a speed of 20 meters per second.
