The momentum (p) of an object is calculated by multiplying its mass (m) by its velocity (v):
p = m * v
Given:
m = 910 kg
v = 13.3 m/s
p = 910 kg * 13.3 m/s
p ≈ 12,083 kg-m/s
The closest answer to this value is option A) 12,100 kg-m/s.
What is the momentum (in kg-m/sec) of a 910-kilogram car traveling north at 13.3 meters per second?
Choose the best answer from the options below:
