Question

Which of the following factors affect the momentum of the moving object?a. mass and volumeb. mass and densityc. mass and shaped. mass and velocityThe momentum of a 255 g softball moving at 35 m/s isa. 7.9 kg m/sb. 3.5 kg m/sc. 5.0 kg m/sd. 2.1 kg m/s

Answer 1

The momentum of an object is given by the formula below:

`p=mv`

Where p is the momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity.

Therefore the correct option of the first part is d.

Then, calculating the momentum with a mass of 0.255 kg and a velocity is 35 m/s, we have:

`\begin{gathered} p=0.255\cdot35\\ \\ p=8.925\text{ kg m/s} \end{gathered}`
