Question

A bird with a mass of .04 kg flies south at a velocity 19 m/s, what is its momentum?

Answer 1

Answer:

In Newtonian mechanics, linear momentum, translational momentum, or simply momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction. If m is an object's mass and v is its velocity, then the object's momentum is: \mathbf{p} = m \mathbf{

Answer 2

Answer:

$\: momentum \: = \: mass \: \times \: velocity$

$1 \: \: kg \: = 1000g \\ 0.04 \: kg \: = .04 \times 1000 \: g \\ \: = 40 \: g$

$\: = 40 \times 19$

$= 760 \: g \: m \: /sec$

= 0.76 kg m / sec
