Julie is playing with a toy car and is pushing it around on the floor. The little car has a mass of 6.3 g. The car has a velocity of 2.5 m/s. What is the car's momentum?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Momentum of the car = [tex]1.575\times 10^{-2}[/tex] kg meter per second

Explanation:

Julie is playing with a car which has mass = 6.3 g = [tex]6.3\times 10^{-3}[/tex] kg

Velocity of the car is 2.5 meter per second

Since formula to calculate the momentum of an object is,

p = mv

Where, p = momentum of the object

m = mass of the object

v = velocity of the object

By substituting these values in the formula,

p = [tex](6.3\times 10^{-3})\times 2.5[/tex]

  = [tex]1.575\times 10^{-2}[/tex] Kg meter per second

Therefore, momentum of the car will be [tex]1.575\times 10^{-2}[/tex] Kg meter per second.
