Answer 1

Question:-

A scooter is moving with a speed of 18 m/s. Its mass is 20 kg. What is the magnitude of its momentum?

A. 360 kg.m/s

B. 2 kg.m/s

C. 3600 kg.m/s

D. 1.1 kg.m/s

Answer:-

Given:-

Speed (v) of a scooter = 18 m/s

Mass (m) = 20 kg

To Find:-

Magnitude of its momentum (p) = ?

Answer:-

Since, we know that,

p = mv

So,

p = 20 kg × 18 m/s

p = 360 kg.m/s

`\therefore` The correct option is (A) 360 kg.m/s

The magnitude of its momentum is 360 kg.m/s. [Answer]
