Question

Julie is playing with a toy car and is pushing it around on the floor. The little car has a mass of 6.3 g. The car has a velocity of 2.5 m/s. What is the car's momentum?

Answer 1

Momentum of the car =
`1.575* 10^(-2)` kg meter per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Julie is playing with a car which has mass = 6.3 g =
`6.3* 10^(-3)` kg

Velocity of the car is 2.5 meter per second

Since formula to calculate the momentum of an object is,

p = mv

Where, p = momentum of the object

m = mass of the object

v = velocity of the object

By substituting these values in the formula,

p =
`(6.3* 10^(-3))* 2.5`

=
`1.575* 10^(-2)` Kg meter per second

Therefore, momentum of the car will be
`1.575* 10^(-2)` Kg meter per second.
