Question

A dog weighing 180 kg runs into a park at a velocity of 0.63 m/s. What is the momentum of the dog?
(1 point)
28.5 kg*m/s
11.34 kg*m/s
.035 kg*m/s
113.4 kg*m/s

Answer 1

To calculate the momentum of the dog, you can use the formula for momentum:

\[
\text{Momentum} (p) = \text{mass} (m) \times \text{velocity} (v)
\]

Given:
- Mass (m) = 180 kg
- Velocity (v) = 0.63 m/s

Now, plug in the values:

\[
p = 180 \, \text{kg} \times 0.63 \, \text{m/s} = 113.4 \, \text{kg*m/s}
\]

So, the momentum of the dog is **113.4 kg*m/s**.
