Question

A car travels at a velocity of 15mls the total mass of the car and the passengers in it is 1000kg .Find the momentum of the car​

Answer 1

Given:

Velocity (v) = 15 m/s

Total mass of car and the passengers (m) = 1000 kg

To Find:

Momentum of the car (p)

Answer:

Momentum (p) of a body is measured as the product of mass (m) of the body and it's velocity (v) and has the same direction as that of the velocity.

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{p = mv}}}$

By substituting values we get:

$\rm \implies p = 1000 \times 15 \\ \\ \rm \implies p = 15000 \: kgm {s}^{ - 1}$

$\therefore$ $\boxed{\mathfrak{Momentum \ of \ the \ car \ (p) = 15000 \ kg \ m/s}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Momentum is the quality of motion measured by the product of Mass & Velocity. Momentum includes direction, hence it's Vector Quantity.

• Total Mass ( m ) = 1000 kg
• Velocity ( v ) = 15 m/s

• According to the Question :

⇒ Momentum = Mass × Velocity

⇒ p = mv

• Putting the given values

⇒ p = 1000 kg × 15 m/s

⇒ p = 15000 kg m/s

∴ Momentum of car is 15000 kg m/s.
