A particle has a mass of 10kg and a velocity of 5m/s. What is the momentum of the particle?

Answer 1

Momentum \( p \) of a particle can be calculated using the formula:

\[ p = m \cdot v \]

where:

• \( m \) is the mass of the particle (in kilograms),
• \( v \) is the velocity of the particle (in meters per second).

Given:

• Mass \( m = 10 \) kg,
• Velocity \( v = 5 \) m/s.

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ p = 10 , \text{kg} \cdot 5 , \text{m/s} = 50 , \text{kg m/s} \]

Thus, the momentum of the particle is \( 50 , \text{kg m/s} \).
