Question

A firework with a mass of 1.5 kg shoots up into the air with a velocity of 25 m/s. It then explodes. Use this information to work out the total momentum of all the pieces after the firework explodes

Answer 1

Answer:

37.5 kg⋅m/s

Explanation:

p = mv

p = (1.5)(25) = 37.5 kg⋅m/s

Momentum is conserved in all collisions and explosions!
