Momentum (p) is calculated using the formula:
\[
p = m \times v
\]
where:
- \( p \) is the momentum,
- \( m \) is the mass of the object,
- \( v \) is the velocity of the object.
Given:
- Mass of the car \( m = 1350 \) kg,
- Velocity of the car \( v = 0.8 \) m/s.
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
\[
p = 1350 \, \text{kg} \times 0.8 \, \text{m/s} = 1080 \, \text{kg m/s}
\]
Therefore, the momentum of the car is **1080 kg m/s**.
\[
p = m \times v
\]
where:
- \( p \) is the momentum,
- \( m \) is the mass of the object,
- \( v \) is the velocity of the object.
Given:
- Mass of the car \( m = 1350 \) kg,
- Velocity of the car \( v = 0.8 \) m/s.
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
\[
p = 1350 \, \text{kg} \times 0.8 \, \text{m/s} = 1080 \, \text{kg m/s}
\]
Therefore, the momentum of the car is **1080 kg m/s**.
