Can someone help me answer this linear momentum problem, thanks?
The linear momentum of a 40.0kg object moving around a 90.0m circle at a constant speed of 7.60m/s is ____Answer should be in Newtons
The linear momentum of a 40.0kg object moving around a 90.0m circle at a constant speed of 7.60m/s is ____Answer should be in Newtons
1 Answer
The momentum is
Explanation:
The linear momentum,
Your question says that the answer should have units on Newtons. That is incorrect. I am certain that the intention was to say "the answer should have units of
Justification:
Consider Newton's 2nd Law -- often abbreviated as F=ma. It means that if
The formula with that data in it would be
Therefore the Newton is equivalent to
Therefore, when you use
So your answer should be
I hope this helps,
