Question

If an object has a momentum of 40 kg x m/s and a mass of 60 kg, what is it's velocity?

Answer 1

`\rm Velocity \: is \: 0.66 \: m/s`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

• an object has a momentum of 40 kg m/s and a mass of 60 kg

To Find :

• It's velocity

Solution :

Formula used :

Momentum of a body is calculated by the product of the mass and the velocity.

• p = mv •

Here,

• p is momentum
• m is mass
• v is velocity

putting the values,

40 = 60 × v

40/60 = v

v
`\approx`0.66 m/s

`{\underline{\rm{ Hence \: the \: required \: velocity \: is \: 0.66\: m/s}}}`
