Question

What is the momentum, in kg m/s, of a tyre of mass 6 kg rolling along at a velocity of 3m/s?

Answer 1

p = 18 kg-m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The mass of tyre, m = 6 kg

The velocity of the tyre, v = 3 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the tyre. We know that, the momentum of an object is equal to the product of mass and velocity. SO,

p = mv

`p=6\ kg* 3\ m/s\\\\=18\ kg-m/s`

So, the momentum of the tyre is equal to 18 kg-m/s.
