Answer 1

A) 28000kgm/s

B) 6.40kgm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum = mass * velocity of a body

A) Given

mass m = 2500kg

velocity v = 11m/s

Substitute

Momentum = 2500 * 11

Momentum = 27500kgm/s

Momentum = 28000kgm/s (to 2 sf)

B) Given

mass m = 200g = 0.2kg

velocity v = 32m/s

Substitute

Momentum = 0.2 * 32

Momentum = 6.4kgm/s

Momentum = 6.40kgm/s (to 2 sf)
