Concept :-

We know that momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Thus, by the following definition, we get :-


\qquad \maltese \: \underline{ \boxed{ \purple{ \sf Momentum = Mass * Velocity }}} \: \star

Given Information :-

  • A particle has mass 10 kg
  • Moving with velocity 5 m/s

To Find :-

  • The momentum of the particle

Solution :-

Using the formula from the concept section, we get :-


\sf \longrightarrow Momentum =10 \: kg * 5 \: {m}^( - 1) ~~~ \\ \\ \\\sf \longrightarrow Momentum = {50~kg \: ms}^( - 1) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \longrightarrow \underline{ \boxed{ \frak{ \orange{Momentum = {50 ~kg\: ms}^( - 1) }}}} \: \star \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\

Thus, the momentum of the particle is 50 kg m/s.
