Question

What is the velocity of a 24 kg object with 108 kg m/s of momentum?

A) 3 m/s
B) 4.5 m/s
C) 6 m/s
D) 84 m/s

Answer 1

The velocity of the object is 4.5 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum is equal to mass times velocity. We can rearrange that relationship to say that velocity is equal to momentum divided by mass. With that we can say:

v = 108 kg m/s / 24kg

v = (108 / 24) m/s

v = 4.5 m/s
