Question

An object with a mass of 50 kg is moving at a velocity of 2 m/s. What is the momentum of theobject?
(1 point)
2 kg ⋅ m/s
25 kg ⋅ m/s
100 kg ⋅ m/s
0.04 kg ⋅ m/s

Answer 1

Momentum (p) is calculated using the formula:

\[ p = m \times v \]

where \( m \) is the mass of the object and \( v \) is its velocity.

Given:
- Mass \( m = 50 \) kg
- Velocity \( v = 2 \) m/s

Now, plug in the values:

\[ p = 50 \, \text{kg} \times 2 \, \text{m/s} \]
\[ p = 100 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \]

So the momentum of the object is **100 kg ⋅ m/s**.
