[tex] \Large {\underline { \sf {Required \; Solution :}}}[/tex]
We have ―
- Velocity of the car, v = 25 m/s
- Momentum of the car, P = 20,000 kg.m/s
We have been asked to calculate the mass of the car, m.
[tex]\qquad\implies\boxed{\red{\sf{ P = mv}}}\\[/tex]
- P denotes momentum
- m denotes mass
- v denotes velocity
[tex] \quad \twoheadrightarrow\sf { 20000 = 25m} \\ [/tex]
[tex] \quad \twoheadrightarrow\sf { \cancel{\dfrac{20000}{25}} = m} \\ [/tex]
[tex]\quad\twoheadrightarrow\boxed{\red{\sf{ m = 800 \; kg}}}\\[/tex]
Therefore, mass of the car is 800 kg.
