Question

What is the mass of an object if it has a momentum of 18 kg m/s and a velocity of 3.0 m/s?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass, m = 6 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

The momentum of the object, p = 18 kg-m/s

Velocity, v = 3 m/s

We need to find the mass of an object.

The momentum of an object is given by :

p = mv

m is mass of the object

$m=\dfrac{p}{v}\\\\m=\dfrac{18\ kg-m/s}{3\ m/s}\\\\m=6\ kg$

So, the mass of the object is 6 kg.
