Question

How much momentum does a `500 kg` object moving at `1/50 m/s` have?

Answer 1

The momentum is defined as product of velocity and mass.

Let `p` denote the momentum `v` denote the velocity and `m` denote the mass.

Then `p=mv`

Here `v=1/50m/s` and `m=500kg`

`implies p=1/50m/s*500kg=10kgm/s`

`implies momentum=10kgm/s`
