Question

A 0.60 kg soccer ball at rest is kicked by a player who has a mass of 50.0 kg. The final speed of the soccer ball after being kicked is 10.0 m/s. Find the final momentum of the soccer ball.

Answer 1

Answer: The momentum is 500.

Explanation: The equation for momentum is p=mv, so you would multiply the mass of the player(50kg) and the speed of the ball(10m/s) to get 500.

Answer 2

6.0 kg·m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

6.0 kg·m/s is correct. Final Momentum = mv = (0.60 kg)(10.0 m/s) = 6.0 kg·m/s
