Question

if a 1200kg car travels 20 m/s and slows down for a stop, what is its momentum?​

Answer 1

Answer:

24000kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car  = 1200kg

Velocity = 20m/s

Unknown:

Momentum  = ?

Solution:

Momentum is the amount of motion a body possesses.

   Momentum  = mass x velocity

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

 Momentum  = 1200 x 20  = 24000kgm/s
