Question

Calculate the momentum of a toy car with a mass of 0.45kg, traveling 2.23 meters in 6.4 seconds. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

To calculate the momentum, we can use the formula:

Momentum = mass * velocity

First, we need to calculate the velocity. We can use the formula:

Velocity = distance / time

Plugging in the given values:

Velocity = 2.23m / 6.4s

Velocity ≈ 0.35 m/s

Now we can calculate the momentum:

Momentum = 0.45kg * 0.35 m/s

Momentum ≈ 0.16 kg*m/s

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the momentum of the toy car is approximately 0.16 kg⋅m/s.
