A car has a speed of 12m/s. The mass of the car and its passengers is 1250 kg. What is the total momentum of the car/passengers? (assuming the car moves in the positive direction)

p= kgm/s

Respuesta :

Answer:

15000kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of the car  = 12m/s

Mass of car and passengers = 1250Kg

Unknown:

Momentum of the car  = ?

Solution:

Momentum is the quantity of motion a body posses;

  Momentum  = mass x velocity

Now insert the given parameters and solve;

  Momentum  = 12 x 1250  = 15000kgm/s
