Question

What is the momentum of a 100-kg football player running north at a speed of a 4 m/s?

Answer 1

p = 400 kg·m/s north

Step-by-step explanation:

p = mv

m = mass in kg

v = velocity m/s

p = momentum

Momentum is a derived quantity, calculated by multiplying the mass, m (a scalar quantity), times velocity, v (a vector quantity). This means that the momentum has a direction and that direction is always the same direction as the velocity of an object's motion
