Question

A bird is flying north with a mass of 2.5 kg has a momentum of 17.5 kg m/s. At what velocity is it flying

Answer 1

here is your answer
p=mv
v=17.5÷2.5
v=7m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

Velocity of the bird is 7 m/s.

Explanation:

Since momentum is the total quantity of the motion which is contained in the body.

It is defined as the multiply of mass and velocity of the body.

$P=mv$..........................(1)

It is given in the question that mass of bird is 2.5 kg and momentum is 17.5 kg/s.

Therefore the velocity of the bird using equation (1) is

$17.5=2.5\times v$

$\dfrac{17.5}{2.5}=v$

$v=7m/s$

So,the velocity of the bird is 7m/s.
