Calculate the momentum of object of mass 5kg e moving at a speed of 20 km per hour

Answer»

Answer:

GIVEN:

Mass of object = 5 kg

Speed of object = 20 km/hr

To FIND:

Momentum of the object

Concept:

Momentum is actually an index of Inertia of Motion of a particle. In other words , it's the PRODUCT of mass and velocity of the Object.It's an vector QuantityIt has both directions and magnitude.Higher the momentum, higher will be the Inertia.

Calculation:

Velocity has to be taken in m/s unit.

20 km/hr = 20 × (5/18) = 5.55m/s

Momentum = Mass × Velocity

=> Momentum = 5 × (5.55)

=> Momentum = 27.77 kg m/s

So final answer :

Momentum = 27.77 kg m/s
