Question

A 1,155 kg truck has a velocity of 18 m/s. What is the momentum of the truck?

Round your answer to the whole number.

Answer 1

The momentum of truck is 20790 kg m/s

Solution:

Given that we have to find the momentum of truck

From given, 1155 kg truck has a velocity of 18 m/s

Therefore,

Mass = 1155 kg

Velocity = 18 m/s

The momentum is given by formula:

`p = m * v`

Where, m is mass in kg and v is velocity in m/s

Substituting the values we get,

`p = 1155 * 18\\\\p = 20790`

Thus momentum of truck is 20790 kg m/s
