VELOCITY
Problem:
» An object whose mass is 3 kg is fired from an artillery cannon, giving it a forward momentum of 1050 kg•m/s . What is its velocity?
Answer:
— — — — — — — — — —
— To calculate the velocity of a momentum, use formula:
where,
- v is the velocity measured in meters per second (m/s)
- p is the momentum in kg•m/s
- m is the mass measured in kilograms (kg)
Solution:
Since the givens are 3 kg mass, and 1050 kg•m/s momentum, then...
Using the formula/equation above, we get
