Question

What is the magnitude of velocity for a 2400 kg car possessing 4100 kg m/s of momentum

Answer 1

Answer: 1.71 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The momentum (linear momentum)
`p` is given by the following equation:

`p=m.V`

Where:

`p=4100 kg m/s` is the momentum of the car

`m=2400 kg` is the mass of the car

`V` is the velocity of the car

Isolating
`V`:

`V=(p)/(m)`

`V=(4100 kg m/s)/(2400 kg)`

Finally:

`V=1.708 m/s \approx 1.71 m/s` This is the velocity of the car
