A 1-kilogram mouse walks across a road at a velocity of 0.01 m/sec . What is the mouse’s momentum?

Question

1 kg⋅m/s
100 kg⋅m/s
0.01 kg⋅m/s
10 kg⋅m/s

Answer 1

Momentum (p) is calculated using the formula:

\[ p = m \times v \]

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

For the given mouse:

• Mass (m) = 1 kg
• Velocity (v) = 0.01 m/s

Now, plug in the values:

\[ p = 1 , \text{kg} \times 0.01 , \text{m/s} = 0.01 , \text{kg⋅m/s} \]

So, the mouse’s momentum is 0.01 kg⋅m/s.
