A dog weighing 10 kg runs into a park at a velocity of 3 m/s. What is the momentum of the dog? (1 point)

Question

A. 7 kg*m/s
B. 13 kg*m/s
C. 30 kg*m/s
D. 0.33 kg*m/s

Answer 1

Momentum is calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Momentum} = \text{mass} \times \text{velocity} \]

Here, the mass of the dog is 10 kg and its velocity is 3 m/s.

Substituting the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Momentum} = 10 , \text{kg} \times 3 , \text{m/s} = 30 , \text{kg*m/s} \]

So the momentum of the dog is 30 kg*m/s.

The correct answer is C. 30 kg*m/s.
