Question

A 12 kg coyote runs towards a rabbit in the Ortega Mountains

with a velocity of 8 m/s. Determine the momentum of the
coyote.
What is "given" in the word problem?
A) mass and velocity
B) momentum
C) momentum and mass
D) momentum and velocity

Answer 1

Given :

A 12 kg coyote runs towards a rabbit in the Ortega Mountains with a velocity of 8 m/s.

To Find :

The momentum of the coyote.

Solution :

The given in the question is mass of coyote which is 12 kg and velocity which is 8 m/s .

Momentum is given by :

M = mass × velocity

M = 12 × 8 kg m/s

M = 96 kg m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
