Question :-

  • If the Mass of an Object is 8 kg and its Momentum is 48 kg m/s . What is its Velocity ?

  • 12 m/s
  • 384 m/s
  • 8 m/s
  • 6 m/s

Answer :-

  • Velocity of the Object is 6 m/s .

Explanation :-

As per the provided information in the given question, we have been given that the Mass of the Object is 8 kg . Its Momentum is given as 48 kg m/s . And, we have been asked to calculate the Velocity of the Object .

For calculating the Velocity , we will use the Formula :-


\bigstar \: \: \: \boxed{ \sf{ \: Velocity \: = \: (Momentum)/(Mass) \: }}

Therefore , by Substituting the given values in the above Formula :-


\dag \: \: \: \sf {Velocity \: = \: \frac {Momentum}{Mass} }


\longmapsto \: \: \sf {Velocity \: = \: \frac {48}{8} }


\longmapsto \: \: \textbf {\textsf {Velocity \: = \: 6 \: m/s}}

Hence :-

  • Fourth Option is Correct Answer .
