a football player with a mass of 97 kg runs up field at a velocity of 8 m/s. The momentum of the football player can be calculated using these two figures. What is the momentum of the football player?

Answer 1

The momentum of an object can be calculated by multiplying its mass (m) by its velocity (v).

Using the given figures:
Mass (m) = 97 kg
Velocity (v) = 8 m/s

Momentum (p) = mass × velocity
p = 97 kg × 8 m/s
p = 776 kg*m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the football player is 776 kg*m/s.
