Question

A 160 kg cart has a momentum of 870 kg m/s. What is the velocity of the cart?

Answer 1

The momentum is defined as :

P=mv

Where m is the mass and v is the velocity. In this case we know the mass is 160 kg and the momentum is 870 kg plugging in this equation above and solving for the velocity we have

870=160V

V=870÷160

V=5.44

Therefore, the velocity of the cart is 5.44 m/s.

Answer 2

Answer: 5.44 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of cart: 160 kg

Momentum of cart: 870 kg•m/s

`$$Momentum $|\rho|=m * v$$$\begin{aligned}&870 \ kg\cdot m/s=160 \mathrm{~kg} * v \\&v=5.44 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}$$`
