Answer:

m = 664.821 kg

General Formulas and Concepts:

Physics

p = mv

  • p = momentum
  • m = mass (kg)
  • v = velocity (m/s)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define variables

m = unknown

p = 3723 kg * m/s

v = 5.6 m/s

Step 2: Find mass

3723 kg * m/s = m(5.6 m/s)

m = 664.821 kg

  • When dividing, m/s and m/s cancel out to leave kg as our final answer
