What is the momentum of a car with a mass of 1500 KG moving at a constant velocity of 25 m/s

1 answer

The momentum \( p \) of an object can be calculated using the formula:

\[ p = m \cdot v \]

where:

  • \( m \) is the mass of the object,
  • \( v \) is the velocity of the object.

In this case, the mass \( m \) of the car is 1500 kg, and its velocity \( v \) is 25 m/s. Plugging in the values:

\[ p = 1500 , \text{kg} \cdot 25 , \text{m/s} = 37500 , \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s} \]

Therefore, the momentum of the car is 37500 kg·m/s.
