Find the mass of a wrecking ball at 6m/s and has a momentum of 3600kg x m/s

the mass must be in kilograms (kg)!
m/s means "meters per second"
kg x m/s is supposed to mean "kilograms times meters per second"
also, the equation to find this is force divided by acceleration
thank you!!!

Answer:

600kg

Step-by-step explanation:

MOMENTUM

This is a product of a mass and velocity of a moving or a rest body.

it is expressed as P(momentum)=M(mass) × V(velocity)

Its SI unit is kgm/s

From our question.

Given

Momentum=3600kgm/s

Velocity=6m/s

RTF=Mass

Solution

P=M×V

M=P/V

= 3600kgm/s

6m/s

= 600kg
