Question

A body of mass 5kg is moving with velocity 2ms−1. Calculate its linear momentum.

Answer 1

p = m*v

=5*2

p= 10 kg m s

Answer 2

Answer:-

10 kg m/s

Given:-

Mass = 5 kg

Velocity = 2 m/s

we will here,

Linear momentum = Mass × Velocity  

⇒ Mass × Velocity  

⇒ 5 kg × 2 m/s

⇒ 10 kg m/s

Linear momentum of body is 10 kg m/s.

Explanation:-

Linear momentum is a property of a moving object, equal to its mass times its linear velocity. It is what Newton was referring to when he said that a force is the time rate of change of momentum.
