Question

If a scooter has a mass of 20 kg and a velocity of 18 m/s north, what is the
magnitude of its momentum?

Answer 1

Answer: 360 kgm/s

Explanation:

mass of scooter = 20 kg

velocity of scooter = 18 m/s north, magnitude of its momentum = ?

Recall that momentum is the product of mass by the velocity of the moving object. Hence, momentum = Mass x velocity

= 20kg x 18m/s

= 360 kgm/s

Thus, 360kgm/s is the magnitude of the momentum of the scooter.
